Nanotubes pass acid test
Rice researchers' method untangles long tubes, clears hurdle toward armchair quantum wire
19-Jul-2010 -
Rice University scientists have found the "ultimate" solvent for all kinds of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a breakthrough that brings the creation of a highly conductive quantum nanowire ever closer. Nanotubes have the frustrating habit of bundling, making them less useful than when they're separated ...
