nanotube

The benefits of the carbon nanotube based solar water heaters is the property of carbon nanotubes as a near blackbody absorber, allowing the absorption of >98% of the solar energy [Zhang 2005].

A project at IBM now aims to have an alternative, carbon nanotube transistors, ready to take over from silicon transistors soon after 2020.

Moreover the formation energy of manganese doped GaN nanotube is calculated by using the ground state energy of relaxed structures.

When imaging with nanotube tipped probes, it is common practice to monitor up to three different outputs from the AFM: cantilever deflection, oscillation amplitude [12, 21-26], and/or phase versus the extent of scanner motion [5, 12, 23, 27-30].

if one (single-walled) nanotube is touching six neighbors, the binding energy can be as high as 3000 electron volts, which is the equivalent of almost 1000 carbon-carbon single bonds that you have to break, even though there's no actual bond between the nanotubes--it's just a Van der Waals interaction.

Lead researcher James Tour said that nanotube films effectively stops dendrites that grow from unprotected lithium metal anodes in batteries, and over time, can pierce the battery's electrolyte core and reach the cathode, eventually resulting in a battery failure.

First, according to Rice University engineers, get a nanotube hole.

Cylindrical carbon nanotubes are formed on a substrate in a manufacturing process called chemical vapor deposition, in which carbon is supplied in gas form and grows in a nanotube around metallic particles with diameters of a few nanometers, which act as seeds.
