Showcasing the potential for macroscopically aligned carbon nanotubes

Written by
Natsumi Komatsu and her colleagues have developed aligned carbon nanotubes, which will have a broad range of applications in next-generation devices

Carbon nanotubes are already widely known for their potential uses across a broad range of technologies. So far, however, their marvellous one-dimensional properties have been proven only at microscopic levels, hindering progress toward real-world applications. Natsumi Komatsu from the laboratory of Professor Junichiro Kono at Rice University, Houston, shows how macroscopic alignment can be achieved in thin films and fibres, […]
