HOUSTON-- July 29, 2002 -- Add fluorescence to the growing list of unique physical properties associated with carbon nanotubes -- the ultrasmall, ultrastrong wunderkind of the fullerene family of ...

Carbon fullerenes—specifically C 60, the spherical "bucky ball"—have received their fair share of attention, even in the shadow of the more buzz-worthy developments with carbon nanotubes and graphene.

A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure. A carbon nanotube (CNT) is a molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in a cylindrical nanostructure.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical nano-sized structures made entirely out of carbon atoms. Each carbon atom is covalently bonded to three other carbon atoms, forming strong hexagonal structures ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) tend to be manufactured in single-wall (SW) and multiwall (MW) versions, both of which contain thousands of carbon atoms (Fig. 1). SW CNTs feature one shell of hexagonal ...

UC Berkeley chemists have proved that three carbon structures recently created by scientists in South Korea and Japan are in fact the long-sought schwarzites, which researchers predict will have ...

There are plenty of examples of nanomaterials we could write about – nanoparticles, quantum dots, nanowires, nanofibers, ultrathin-films etc. One example, though, that is exemplary of how an 'old' ...

Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical structures made of rolled-up graphene sheets. They can be single-walled (SWCNTs), with a diameter of around 1 nm, or multi-walled (MWCNTs), with diameters ranging from ...

Plans were announced today for the first large-scale production of carbon clusters known as fullerenes, discovered in 1985 but never before available in commercial quantities. Mitsubishi Corporation ...

Carbon nanotubes are materials that have extraordinary properties which are useful across a variety of new, state-of-the-art applications in sensors, printed electronics, e-readers, flexible displays, ...
