Tiny “tags” made of dye molecules stuffed into carbon nanotubes have been used to develop a high-resolution imaging technique based on Raman scattering. Created by researchers in Canada, the tags ...

Carbon nanotubes and nanopipes have been shown to have great potential as cellular probes, for use as nanofluidic devices to transport solutions to or from cells. Making these nanopipes able to sense ...

A new class of materials called Carbon NanoTubes (CNTs) has attracted significant interest for a wide range of engineering applications. These materials look similar to graphitic carbon in structure.

Tip-enhanced Raman scattering microscopy is a powerful technique for analysing nanomaterials at high spatial resolution far beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, imaging of intrinsic ...

A Carbon nanotube (CNT), their name being derived from their size and composition, is a member of the fullerene structural family that forms cylindrical carbon molecules. A CNT can be up to several ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) New work at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock has, for the very first time, demonstrated that Raman spectroscopy can be used to detect and monitor circulating carbon ...

A surface of TiO2 nanotubes could reduce the failure rate for dental implants, both by encouraging bone growth around the implant and by serving as a drug-delivery system for antimicrobial and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a rapidly advancing field, but there is a lot that researchers don't know about how nanotubes form and grow. Synthesis, while rapidly ...
