TROY, N.Y., Jan. 12 -- Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a novel carbon-nanotube-based material that chokes vibration and may have applications for both large and small mechanical equipment and electronic devices. The researchers say the new material will be useful as a filler to enhance traditional vibration-reduction materials. The Rensselaer research team, lead by Koratkar, added carbon nanotube fillers to traditional vibration reduction materials to enhance their energy dissipation capability. Adding large quantities of nanoscale fillers increases the amount...Read full article
