Carbon Nanotubes Sorted by Electronic Properties

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
EVANSTON, Ill., Oct. 6, 2006 -- Carbon nanotubes are highly touted for their exceptional mechanical, thermal, optical and electrical properties, and researchers worldwide are eager to incorporate them into electronics, high-resolution displays, high-strength composites and biosensors. But their widespread use is hindered by current synthesizing methods that produce tubes with differing diameters, twist and electronic properties, making them unsuitable for most proposed applications. Now, a new method developed at Northwestern University for sorting single-walled carbon nanotubes promises to overcome this problem. The...Read full article

    nanotube
    A nanotube, also known as a nanotubule or simply a tube-like structure, is a nanoscale cylindrical structure composed of various materials, including carbon, boron nitride, or other compounds. Nanotubes have unique physical and chemical properties due to their small size and specific atomic arrangement, making them of significant interest in various scientific and technological fields. One of the most well-known types of nanotubes is the carbon nanotube (CNT), which is composed of carbon...
