When such molecules bind, the nanotubes change their emission in the near-infrared range, which penetrates deep into tissue. This way, for example, the presence of certain neurotransmitters, i.e ...

Engineers at EPFL have inserted carbon nanotubes into photosynthetic bacteria, greatly improving their electrical output. They even pass these nanotubes down to their offspring when they divide ...

Carbon nanotubes, by contrast, can operate as transistors (or tiny electrical switches) at dimensions smaller than 10 nanometers, or 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair.

A company called SkyNano, begun in 2017, uses an electrochemical process to convert CO2 to carbon nanotubes rather than a thermochemical process in conventional nanotube production.

Researchers have grown “forests” of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) longer than ever before. Using a new method, the team grew bunches of nanotubes up to 14 cm (5.5 in) long, which should help make it ...
