Motivated by a $4 million prize from NASA, the scientists found a way to combine multiple separate nanotubes together to form long strands. Until now, carbon nanotubes have been too brittle to be formed into such long pieces.
Research and Markets has announced the addition of WinterGreen Research, Inc.'s new report "Worldwide Nanotechnology Thin Film Lithium-Ion Battery Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2009-2015" to the...
Engineers at the University of
Michigan have formalized an important relationship with General Motors to
accelerate the design and testing of advanced batteries for electric vehicles.
Scientists at U.S.
Department
of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory used inelastic neutron scattering
to show that superconductivity in a new family of iron arsenide superconductors
cannot be explained by conventional theories.
Royal DSM N.V., the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company headquartered in the Netherlands, today announces the opening of its DSM China Campus in the Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. T...
'Rheological materials in process industry (ReoMaT)', was a three-year research project started 1.2.2003 and funded mainly by Tekes and industry. It was carried out as a joint effort of five research groups from ...
From the structure of DNA to nautical rope to distant spiral galaxies, helical
forms are as abundant as they are useful in nature and manufacturing alike.
Researchers at the Harvard
School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a way
to synthesize and control the formation of nanobristles, akin to tiny hairs,
into helical clusters and have further demonstrated the fabrication of such
highly ordered clusters, built from similar coiled building blocks, over multiple
scales and areas.
Using a simple chemical process, scientists at Cornell
and DuPont have invented a method of preparing carbon nanotubes for suspension
in a semiconducting "ink," which can then be printed into such thin,
flexible electronics as transistors and photovoltaic materials.
Scientists at DuPont
and Cornell University in Ithaca, N.Y., have used a simple chemical process
to convert mixtures of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes into solely
semiconducting carbon nanotubes with electrical characteristics well-suited
for plastic electronics.
Arizona State University researchers Hao Yan and Yan Liu imagine and assemble intricate structures on a scale almost unfathomably small. Their medium is the double-helical DNA molecule, a versatile building material offe...
