Can carbon nanotubes fluoresce fully?
February 2, 2012 -- Rice University studied the fluorescence of single-walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ) in new research, finding that the lengths and imperfections of individual nanotubes affect their fluorescence. This research …

Oriented CNTs enable better strain sensors
June 3, 2011 -- Japanese researchers have developed a strain sensor with oriented single-walled carbon nanotube ( SWCNT ) films bonded to a stretchable polymer substrate. The sensor can measure strains by detecting changes in the films' electrical …

Conference Report: MRS Spring 2012, Day 5
… Urbana (John Rogers group) presented a method for aligning SWCNT and subsequently removing the metallic tubes (m-CNT) to leave ..... fabrics as a replacement for ITO. Candidate materials include SWCNT , Ag nanowires and graphene, but each has its down side. The …

Conference Report: MRS Spring 2012, Day 4
… EE7.1 Taishi Takenobu of Waseda U (Japan) showed some recent work on inkjet printing of single-wall carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ) thin-film transistors (TFT). Separation of metallic from semiconducting CNT is required to avoid being trapped by a tradeoff …

CNT supercapacitors enable harsh-environment energy storage
… about 100nm wide. Credit: Hauge Lab/Rice University. Rice used 15-20nm bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ) up to 50m long. Carbon nanotubes were used to give the electrons high surface area, increasing capacitance. Each bundle …

SRC and SEMATECH remove toxic nano contaminant from CNTs
… other industries that benefit from carbon nanotubes' unique nano properties. The research team found that one functionalized SWCNT family, carboxylated single-walled carbon nanotubes (CSWNTs), reduced the ability of mammalian cells to grow in culture …

3 graphene fab methods: Researchers claim cheap, easy, high yielding processes
… environmentally friendly, and cost-effective. Hosmane's research group was looking to produce single-wall carbon nanotubes ( SWCNT ), a different nanomaterial. "Instead, we isolated few-layer graphene," he said. "It surprised us all." Other members …
