Carbon nanotubes have a range of desirable properties, including very high tensile strength, plus high elasticity and flexibility.
Here, Rice chemists – including lead researcher Matteo Pasquali – describe how they are taking a low-tech approach to produce short lengths of strong, conductive fibres from bulk nanotubes in about an hour. The research is published in Advanced Materials.
‘Archaic rules’ torn up to green light new nuclear
Lack of data about windpower being cheaper than nuclear was, I felt, the question that you replied to. and as the context is energy security it would...
