Researchers have separated highly fluorescent carbon nanotubes from their nonlight-producing brethren, a technique that could allow the tiny structures to be employed in a variety of medical imaging applications, and even in cancer treatment. Nanotubes are manufactured in a variety of forms, including metallic and semiconducting as well as single- and multiwalled designs. Of these, only the single-walled semiconducting variety produces fluorescence. Previously, it was difficult to separate the various types in meaningful quantities, and no method exists to produce only the highly...Read full article
