Tag: nanotubesLonger-Running Electric-Car Batteries Silicon-nanotube electrodes may enable lithium-ion batteries to store 10 times more charge. Stretchy, High-Quality Conductors Materials made from nanotubes could lead to conformable computers that stretch around any shape. Testing the Toxicity of Nanomaterials A fast screening method could help separate the good from the bad. A nanoscale biosensor that can detect minute amounts of pathogens could come to market this year. Some Nanotubes Could Cause Cancer New studies suggest that long carbon nanotubes behave like asbestos. Measuring the conductivity of DNA could provide a way to detect mutations. Flexible, Nanowire Solar Cells Exotic materials and cheaper substrates could lead to better photovoltaics. Researchers have made analog electronics out of carbon nanotubes. Better batteries and super-sticky glues are becoming possible because of nanomaterials. Superstrong Carbon-Nanotube Fibers A new process could make nanotube fibers that are strong enough to stop bullets. A tiny radio made out of a single nanotube could find use in biological and environmental sensors. Carbon nanotubes may help scientists create smarter implants. E-jet printing of precise structures out of various materials could prove to be a valuable tool in nano manufacturing. Geckos and mussels inspire a better glue. NASA scientists have tested a tiny and extremely sensitive chemical nanosensor. |
