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.
Comment: Autonomous construction requires open data standards
The UK is particularly well served with topographic data thanks to the Environment Agency´s LIDAR programs, specifically the composite digital terrain...
