MIT researchers make carbon nanotubes without metal catalyst
Oxides, as well as metals, seem to be able to sprout carbon nanotubes
12-Aug-2009 -
Carbon nanotubes - tiny, rolled-up tubes of graphite - promise to add speed to electronic circuits and strength to materials like carbon composites, used in airplanes and racecars. A major problem, however, is that the metals used to grow nanotubes react unfavorably with materials found in ...
