Experiments Show Absence of Thermoelectric Effect in Metallic Carbon Nanotubes

Metallic carbon nanotubes have been proposed as interconnects in future electronic devices packed with high-density nanoscale circuits. Recent experiments have shown the absence of the thermoelectric effect in metallic carbon nanotubes. Building upon earlier theoretical work, researchers at the University of Illinois say they can explain this peculiar behavior, and put it to good use.

Inexpensive Process that Gets Nanotubes to Obediently Line Themselves Up

A new study* from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Rice University, however, offers an inexpensive process that gets nanotubes to obediently line themselves up-that is, self-assemble-in neat rows, more like ducks.
