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 ...

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 under carefully ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a new reactor that converts natural gas (a common energy source ...

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure. A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure.

Carbon nanotubes, the experimental materials seen as possible replacements for conventional chip-making materials, conduct electricity better than any other material at room temperature, according to ...

An international team of scientists from the Center for Advanced Sensor Technology demonstrated the ability of twisted carbon nanotubes to store three times more energy per unit mass than ...

Carbon nanotubes, nano-size cylinders made of carbon atoms, are attracting renewed interest for their role in the future of cars. Industry reports project that the global market for these ...

The team’s new synthesis protocol allows for the production of tungsten disulfide nanotubes which point in the same direction. The material they make show the key properties of single nanotubes. Tokyo ...
