Analyzing Carbon Nanotubes in Strong Spatial Confinements

To analyze particles in motion, experimentalists have been following a 100-year-old theory that asserts that the microscopic movement of a particle is identified by random collisions with molecules of the adjoining medium, irrespective of the macroscopic forces that influence that motion.

Conversion of Coal to Amorphous Graphite and Carbon Nanotubes

In a warming world, coal can often seem the "bad guy." But we can do other things with coal besides burn it. A team at Ohio University used the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's Bridges-2 system to carry out a series of simulations showing how coal might eventually be converted to valuable - and carbon-neutral - materials like graphite and carbon nanotubes.
