Duke researchers are devising new ways to engineer carbon-based semiconductors for electronics of the future DURHAM, N.C. -- It might look like a roll of chicken wire, but this tiny cylinder of carbon ...

Carbon nanomaterials, including graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, nanodiamonds, diamond-like-carbon, novel carbide structures, carbon dots and their hybrids with other materials, continue to ...

It might look like something on the side of an Alpine mountain, but you’re actually looking at an electron microscope image of diamond-coated of carbon nanotubes. The image was captured by Paul May at ...

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have made niobium sulfide metallic nanotubes with stable, predictable properties, a long-sought goal in advanced materials science. According to the international team, ...

Carbon nanotubes are one technology that many observers believe hasn't quite lived up to the extreme hype that surrounded them when they first appeared on the scene in the late 1990s. At that time, ...
