An industrial-scale production process for manufacturing pure carbon nanotube fibres could lead to “revolutionary” advances in materials science, power distribution and nanoelectronics, according to a joint research team from three establishments – Houston-based Rice University and the University of Pennsylvania in the USA, and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology.
Rice University scientists claim to have found the "ultimate" solvent for all kinds of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), bringing the creation of a highly electrically conductive quantum nanowire closer.
