Researchers develop flexible carbon nanotubes that be worn on your finger
In an article in NanoWerks, Japanese researchers successfully tuned carbon nanotubes in order to create terahertz detectors that can flex and wrap around body parts. Their results could lead to the eventual use of terahertz electronics in wrap-around devices, wearable technologies, and photonic devices that cover large areas. Carbon nanotubes are a type of carbon […]

New supercapacitor could be an ideal alternative to lithium-ion batteries
A study published in Advanced Materials discusses the discovery of a new supercapacitor that features both stability and a high energy density, which, with further development, could be a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries. The supercapacitor was created by researchers from the University of California at Berkeley (UC Berkeley) in collaboration with the Molecular Foundry, […]

Research team finds a way to cheaply create nanotubes made from carbon dioxide extracted out of the air
Potentially toxic carbon dioxide can now be transformed into invaluable carbon nanotubes. In a Science Direct article, researchers from Tennessee have reported creating a prototype device that can absorb CO2 from the air and turn it into “black gold.” Carbon nanotubes possess a strength that exceeds steel and a conductivity superior to commonly used copper. […]

Be your own generator: New technology converts energy from bloodflow into electricity
Dams and huge turbines are built to convert the water energy that waterfalls and rivers have into electricity. In order to manufacture that kind of energy on a far smaller scale, Chinese scientists are working on a lightweight power generator which is based on carbon nanotube fibers that can convert even the energy of the […]
