Carbon nanotubes have been predicted as game-changing structural materials due to their outstanding theoretical strength per weight (Fig. 1a). They have even encouraged the construction of a space ...

Chiral materials interact with light in extremely precise ways, which can be used to create better displays, sensors, and more powerful gadgets. However, successfully creating features like the ...

(Nanowerk News) Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are useful for building better displays, sensors and more powerful devices. However, engineering properties such as ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality, another with ...

A research team from Tohoku University, led by Associate Professor Toshiaki Kato of the Advanced Institute for Materials Research, has successfully synthesized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a chiral ...

Chemists from the University of Groningen have found a simple way to produce previously inaccessible chiral Z-alkenes, molecules that offer a significant synthetic short-cut for the production of ...

Nagoya, Japan - Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at ...
