New method smashes record for longest carbon nanotube forests ever made

Researchers at Waseda University in Japan 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 easier to scale up production of this versatile material.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: Nanotubes, Carbon, Materials, Waseda University
