Scientists untangle nanotubes to release their potential in the electronics industry
2013-10-21 18:44:32| Electronics - Topix.net
Carbon nanotubes are lightweight, strong and conduct electricity, which make them ideal components in new electronics devices, such as tablet computers and touchscreen phones, but cannot be used without being separated out from their natural tangled state.

Printed flexible carbon nanotubes, for cheaper electronics and wall-sized displays
2013-08-22 14:28:22| Extremetech
Researchers have, for the first time, used a conventional, high-throughput printing process to create sheets of high-quality carbon nanotube transistors on flexible plastic (PET) sheets. These flexible sheets, made from the same kind plastic as the Coke bottle you just took a swig from, could be used to create flexible, low-power displays for applications as small as a smartphone or as large as your living room wall -- or touch-sensitive electronic skin for robots and prosthetic limbs.

Shaking Things Up: NIST Researchers Propose New Old Way To Purify Carbon Nanotubes
2013-05-03 07:10:50| electronicsweb News Articles
An old, somewhat passé, trick used to purify protein samples based on their affinity for water has found new fans at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where materials scientists are using it to divvy up solutions of carbon nanotubes, separating the metallic nanotubes from semiconductors.
