Carbon nanotubes display fascinating characteristics making them especially suited for the manufacture of special hybrid devices – comprising of biological issue and synthetic material – aiming to re-establish connections between nerve cells, for example at spinal level, lost due to trauma or lesions.
An inexpensive printed sensor capable of monitoring the tread of car tires in real time has been invented by Electrical Engineers at Duke University. This new invention warns drivers when the rubber meeting the road becomes dangerously thin.
A paper titled "A fast and efficient pre-doping approach to high energy density lithium-ion hybrid capacitors" has been published by researcher Minho Kim.
A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have synthesized thin carbon nanotube (CNT) textiles that display both high electrical conductivity and a level of toughness that is approximately fifty times higher than copper films, presently employed in electronics. They drew inspiration from the structure of composites found in the ancient world and nature.
It is a known fact that water at sea level starts boiling at a temperature of 100 °C or 212 °F. Scientists have long observed that the freezing and boiling points of water change slightly when it is confined to very small spaces - usually dropping by about 10 °C.
OCSiAl, the world leader in single-wall carbon nanotubes manufacturing and BÜFA Composite Systems, the leading European manufacturer of composite materials have agreed a partnership that will see BÜFA expand the production and marketing of OCSiAl's TUBALL™ nanotubes-based concentrates and resin formulations.
Researchers from the University of St Andrews (Scotland) and the Heidelberg University worked toward developing nanomaterials for optoelectronics, and have been successful in demonstrating, for the first time, a strong interaction exists between light and matter in semiconducting carbon nanotubes.
Wearable electronics embedded in clothing are the latest growing trend, however power sources are still an issue. The development of lithium ion batteries that are thin, flexible, and possess self-healing properties has been reported by researchers in the journal Angewandte Chemie. These batteries can grow back together even after falling apart completely, without any major effect on their electrochemical properties.
Molecular-sized machines could be used to manipulate significant bodily mechanisms in the future. In a recent study, scientists from Umeå University and the University of California, Berkeley have electrostatically controlled a nanoballoon consisting of a carbon molecule 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair, to switch between collapsed and inflated state.
OCSiAl and its core product TUBALL™ single wall carbon nanotubes have opened a new substance in the EU's Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation with the successf...
