Shortly after their discovery, carbon nanotubes seemed to be a material wonder. There were metallic and semiconducting forms; they were tiny and incredibly light; and they could only be broken by ...

A forest of pure-carbon nanostructures, grown and harvested from a liquid-metal catalytic surface, could find applications ranging from high-performance rubber and resins, to next-generation batteries ...

Carbon nanotubes, large cylindrical molecules composed of hybridized carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal structure, recently attracted significant attention among electronics engineers. Due to their ...
