Brigham Young University pushes the boundaries of carbon nanotube tech and shows how to "grow" complex structures from the stuff. The Navy, meanwhile, is interested in using nanotech robots to produce new nanotech robots.READ»
Composite materials are increasingly a feature of our engineering--they're super-strong and light, outperforming metals like steel with ease, which is why they're often used in aeronautical engineering. Now a group at MIT has figured ...READ»
Carbon nanotubes are one of the nanotechnology wonder materials of the near future, used in electronics, optics, for super-strong materials and as novel semiconductors, but there are emerging concerns about the environmental and ...READ»
