Michael A. Greenwood

As more potential photonic applications are being explored for carbon nanotubes, which are valued for properties such as ultrafast recovery times and optical nonlinearity, the construction and handling of nanotubes remain an issue. Nanotubes are prone to becoming entangled with other nanotubes, and it is difficult to separate them. Once separated, depositing them precisely in the correct spot can be laborious. Some of the construction methods, meanwhile, require steps such as chemical functionalization, which add time and cost. Investigators at the University of Tokyo and at Alnair...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
