Getting to the heart of carbon nanotube clusters – MIT News
MIT researchers Ashley Kaiser and Itai Stein create predictable patterns from unpredictable carbon nanotubes. Integrating nanoscale fibers such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into commercial applications, from coatings for aircraft wings to heat sinks for mobile computing, requires them to be produced in large scale and at low cost. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is a promising…
