When nanotubes were placed inside cells and radiated by the laser beam, the cells were quickly destroyed by the heat. |
In everyday terms, the charge in the batteries containing carbon nanotubes lasts longer. |
Chemists have also been looking at carbon nanotubes as fillers in nanocomposites. |
One way the new nanotubes can be customized is by using them as scaffolding for other materials. |
The research showed that the forked nanotubes amplify current, a necessary property for transistors. |
To make fibers up to tens of microns across, scientists must align hundreds of the nanotubes into bundles. |
