A new method is developed for the simulation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on the molecular mechanics (MM) and cellular automata (CA) algorithms. The proposed atomic-based CA algorithm (ACAA) is as ...

Researchers at USC have solved a long-standing challenge with carbon nanotubes: how to actually build them with specific, predictable atomic structures. “We are now working on scale up the process,” ...

The Model 628 is a furnace-type holder that has been specifically designed to facilitate the direct observation of microstructural phase changes, growth, catalysis, nucleation, growth, and dissolution ...

Carbon nanotubes have been employed for a variety of uses including composite materials, biosensors, nano-electronic circuits and membranes. While they have proven useful for these purposes, no one ...

University of Liverpool and Newcastle researchers have uncovered how bacterial organelles assemble, opening new routes for ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a standard imaging technique for the structural characterization of surfaces in different fields of materials science, surface science, and biology. Carbon nanotubes ...
