carbon nanotubes News
Photonics West Boasts Largest Program Yet
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13, 2012 — SPIE Photonics West will set records again this year, thanks to its largest-ever biomedical technical program and BiOS Expo, which are driving growth for the 2013 event, SPIE said.
NIR Imaging Gets Big Boost
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 3, 2012 — Studying arterial diseases and therapies just got easier, thanks to a new fluorescence imaging technique that allows researchers to visualize the blood flow of living animals with unprecedented clarity. The Stanford University technique, called...
Nanotubes improve hologram projection
CAMBRIDGE, England – Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view. Many scientists believe that carbon nanotubes will be at...
Nanotubes improve hologram projection
CAMBRIDGE, UK – Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view. Many scientists believe that carbon nanotubes will be at...
Nanotubes Project Holograms
CAMBRIDGE, England, Sept. 25, 2012 — Holograms can be generated by harnessing the conductive and light-scattering qualities of carbon nanotubes, a development that could lead to crisper projections with a larger field of view.
Fluorescing Paint Detects Stress, Strain
HOUSTON, June 25, 2012 — A new type of paint made with fluorescing carbon nanotubes can help detect structural stress and strain remotely, say scientists at Rice University.It provides a big advantage over conventional strain gauges, which must be physically connected to...
All-Carbon Solar Cell Harnesses NIR Light
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 22, 2012 — A new all-carbon solar cell developed by MIT taps into near-IR light, a region that is completely unused by today’s solar systems but represents about 40 percent of the solar energy reaching Earth’s surface.
Carbon nanotube “forest” hides 3-D objects
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – A unique property of carbon nanotubes – the low refractive index of low-density aligned nanotubes – also can camouflage 3-D objects, making them look like nothing more than a flat black sheet. The tiny cylinders, composed of...
Label-Free Bioimaging Tool Tracks Nanotubes
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Dec. 12, 2011 — A new imaging tool tracks carbon nanotubes inside living cells and throughout the bloodstream, which could hone the particles’ usefulness in biomedical research and clinical medicine. Carbon nanotubes have potential applications in drug...
"Mirage effect" from carbon nanotubes hides objects
DALLAS — A cloaking device made from sheets of transparent carbon nanotubes takes advantage of the mirage effect — an optical phenomenon in which light rays are bent to produce a displaced image of distant objects or the sky — to make objects...
Carbon Nanotube Forest Camouflages 3-D Objects
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 23, 2011 — One of the unique properties of carbon nanotubes — the low refractive index of low-density aligned nanotubes — also has a unique application: making 3-D objects appear as nothing more than a flat, black sheet. Researchers from the...
QD ‘Blinking’ Mystery Unravels
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Nov. 21, 2011 — A significantly better understanding of why quantum dots blink, and how this blinking can be controlled and even completely suppressed, should lead to many sought-after applications, such as single-particle tracking, novel LEDs and single-photon...
Superblack Material Absorbs Multiwavelengths of Light
GREENBELT, Md., Nov. 11, 2011 — A thin layer of multiwalled carbon nanotubes constitutes a new superblack material that absorbs 99 percent of multiple wavelengths of light — an achievement that promises to open new frontiers in space technology. The nanotubes are positioned...
Light from Nanoparticles Controlled
HOUSTON, Oct. 3, 2011 — Rice University researchers have created a technique to control plasmonic scattering from gold nanoparticles using liquid crystals. The researchers use voltage to sensitively manipulate the alignment of liquid crystal molecules that alternately...
Red-light-emitting carbon nanotubes could brighten OLEDs
WARSAW, Poland – Carbon nanotubes with light-emitting chemicals attached glow with red light when exposed to ultraviolet wavelengths. Inducing carbon nanotubes to emit light is difficult, as they are excellent electrical conductors and capture energy from...
Supercarbon: “Denser than diamond”
STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Three newly discovered carbon structures may be at least three percent denser, more brilliant and better able to handle pressure than diamond can. Newly discovered modifications of carbon, such as graphene, have resulted in a scientific and...
New Materials Build Better Organic Photodetectors
Aug 1, 2011 — Organic photodetectors are destined to enhance numerous sectors ranging from industrial markets for process control, object recognition and light management to consumer electronics for motion detection and interactive surface applications. OPDs,...
THz Laser Power Detector Is a Piece of Cake
GAITHERSBURG, Md., July 20, 2011— Dense arrays of extra-long carbon nanotubes absorb nearly all light of long wavelengths and are promising coatings for prototype detectors intended to measure terahertz laser power. This type of radiation can penetrate numerous materials, making it...
UV-Exposed Nanotubes Emit Red Light
WARSAW, Poland, July 13, 2011 — By simply attaching light-emitting chemicals to carbon nanotubes and exposing them to UV, researchers have enabled the nanotubes to emit red light. To the human eye, carbon nanotubes usually appear as a black powder. They can hardly be forced...
Aircraft inspectors can turn off heaters
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Aircraft manufacturers soon may not need large heaters or traditional infrared thermography techniques to detect internal damage in planes and other objects, thanks to a simple handheld device and heat-sensitive camera devised by scientists at MIT....
Nanotubes Improve Fluorescence Imaging
STANFORD, Calif., June 1, 2011 — An improved imaging method using fluorescent carbon nanotubes allows researchers to see centimeters deep into a mouse with far more clarity than conventional dyes provide. For a creature the size of a mouse, a few centimeters makes a great...
Sensor Detects Tiny Traces of Explosives
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 12, 2011 — MIT researchers have created a detector based on fluorescing carbon nanotubes that is so sensitive it can sense a single molecule of an explosive. To create the sensors, Michael Strano and his colleagues at the institute coated carbon...
Solar Power Goes Viral
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 3, 2011 — A genetically modified virus is being used to produce structures that improve solar cell efficiency by nearly one-third. In a solar cell, sunlight hits a light-harvesting material, causing it to release electrons that can be harnessed to...
Ultrafast photodetectors made from carbon nanotubes
MUNICH, Germany – A new time-resolved laser spectroscopy process enables scientists to measure the dynamics of electrons in nanoscale photodetectors – and it’s 100 times faster than existing methods. This research is expected to lead to advances in solar...
Seeing Below the Surface
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 30, 2011 — A new approach to detecting internal damage in planes and other objects that employs a simple handheld device and heat-sensitive camera promises to replace traditional infrared thermography techniques that require the use of large heaters.
