A sheet of twisted carbon nanotubes has revealed a hidden talent scientists suspected for decades but had never managed to measure. Researchers at Rice University have created large, highly ordered ...

It's also a setup that can potentially be used to make wafer-scale chiral film using other nanomaterials such as boron nitride nanotubes and tungsten diselenide nanotubes. "This discovery holds ...

Scientists have developed two new methods to create ordered carbon nanotube films with either a left- or right-handed chiral pattern. Chiral materials interact with light in very precise ways that are ...

Study confirms decadeslong prediction, may advance electronic and photonic technologies. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at Rice University have created large, highly ordered films of chiral carbon ...

A recent study published in the journal ACS Nano has introduced centimeter-scale films composed of highly aligned single enantiomer chiral carbon nanotubes. By assembling aligned, single-enantiomer ...

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 ...

Insights into the catalyst structure-function relationship of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) can provide an outlook to their growth mechanisms. In a new report now published in Science ...

Chirality is a fundamental property of asymmetry in nature, where an object or molecule cannot be superimposed onto its mirror image. In the context of nanotechnology, chirality refers to the ...

Boron-nitride nanotubes can template the growth of TMD nanotubes both inside and outside the tube. These can be directly observed by transmission electron microscopy (right). Tokyo, Japan – ...
