14-07-01 A group of researchers from Russia, Belarus and Spain, including MIPT professor Yury Lozovik, have developed a microscopic force sensor based on carbon nanotubes. The device is described in an article published in the journal Computational Materials...

13-11-26 University of Illinois researchers have developed a way to heal gaps in wires too small for even the world's tiniest soldering iron（烙铁） . Led by electrical and computer engineering professor Joseph Lyding and graduate student Jae Won Do, the Ill...

13-11-13 Despite their almost incomprehensibly（不可思议地） small size -- a diameter about one ten-thousandth the thickness of a human hair -- single-walled carbon nanotubes come in a plethora（过多，过剩） of different species, each with its own structure...

13-11-07 Researchers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich have developed a new method of using nanotubes to detect molecules at extremely low concentrations enabling trace detection...

13-01-17 Safety fears about carbon nanotubes, due to their structural similarity to asbestos（石棉） , have been alleviated following research showing that reducing their length removes their toxic properties, experts say. In a new study, published January 1...

12-03-23 The percentage of electronic waste occupying our landfills has grown at an alarming rate over the last decade, giving rise to concerns about the toxicity of components used in consumer electronics. Researchers at the University of Florida are lookin...

10-09-16 Carbon nanotubes those tiny particles poised（镇定的，平衡的） to revolutionize electronics, medicine, and other areas are much bigger in the strength department than anyone ever thought, scientists are reporting. New studies on the strength of thes...

10-06-21 Batteries might gain a boost in power capacity（功率容量） as a result of a new finding from researchers at MIT. They found that using carbon nanotubes for one of the battery's electrodes produced a significant increase up to tenfold in the amount o...

10-04-07 Carbon nanotubes（碳纳米管） , long touted（被吹捧的） for applications in materials and electronics, may also be the stuff of atomic-scale black holes. Physicists at Harvard University have found that a high-voltage nanotube can cause cold atoms to...
