Researchers have grown the tallest ever forest of carbon nanotubes (CNT), using a new technique they say could make nanomaterials a ubiquitous reality.
Describing it as a “novel approach to a conventional technique”, the Japanese team used the process to grow CNT forests roughly 14cm in length – seven-times longer than the previous maximum.
Many industries, including…
