Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have made tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction when formed, for the first time. They used a sapphire surface ...

A team of researchers at IMDEA Nanociencia institute and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore has unveiled a new class of gas sensors based on MINT-functionalized carbon nanotubes, offering ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A standard microwave oven sits on a laboratory bench. Inside, a small sample of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) erupts into brilliant yellow-white plasma, reaching temperatures over 800 ...

Scientists at Rice University found a new way to make liquid crystals from boron nitride nanotubes. Instead of using acids or polymers to disperse the nanotubes, they used a common surfactant and ...

Oxidation can degrade the properties and functionality of metals. However, a research team recently found that severely oxidized metallic glass nanotubes can attain an ultrahigh recoverable elastic ...
