Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Structure

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrically shaped structures with diameter of one-billionth of a meter, which is 100 times stronger and just one-sixth as heavy as steel.

Since their discovery, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have opened many avenues in material science. What makes them fascinating is their atomic structure, which dictates their electromagnetic and mechanical properties. They exhibit tremendous strength and conductivity while only being one atom thick. As they are a unique among other fullerene carbon structures, they are considered a new allotrope of carbon.

The global Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes market is valued at million US$ in 2018 is expected to reach million US$ by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of during 2019-2025.

Eurotapes has made a superconducting tape composed of carbon oxide. This threadlike material can conduct 100 times more electricity than copper.

Getting DNA into plant cells is tricky. Researchers have tried using infectious bacteria, as well as gene guns that shoot gold bullets. Then a physicist came up with a new approach almost by accident.

Materials Science Materials research is a large part of what NIA does. The projects encompass the breadth of materials research, from the atomic and nano-scale to the component and macro-scale; …
