The optical properties of carbon nanotubes, which consist of a rolled-up hexagonal lattice of sp2 carbon atoms, can be improved through defects. A new reaction pathway enables the selective creation ...
The Skoltech Laboratory of Nanomaterials, along with the Ural Federal University and the Institute of Engineering Science Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, have published their findings ...
Relevant to this last application, the doping doesn’t alter the durability of the (very tough) carbon nanotube fibers. They have higher tensile strength than either copper or aluminum, and they are ...
