Boron Nitride Nanotubes Exhibit Potential Once Unstuck

Boron nitride nanotubes truly like to stick together. They would remain stuck if they weren’t very useful. But since they are beneficial, Rice University chemists have established that surfactants—the standard compounds in soap—provide the best and easiest way to keep boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) from clumping.
