(Nanowerk News) In a breakthrough in the quest for the next generation of computers and materials, researchers at USC have solved a longstanding challenge with carbon nanotubes: how to actually build ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical nanostructures formed by rolling a single layer of graphene into a seamless tube. The graphene sheet consists of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Two Russian scientists won the Nobel Prize in physics this week for their work on graphene, a chicken-wire-like lattice of carbon atoms. Joseph Stroscio, of the National Institute of Standards and ...

Carbon is known for its plentiful allotropes, such as the naturally existing graphite and diamond, as well as synthetic compounds like the "buckyball" fullerene and graphene. Due to its unique valency ...

Engineers in Sydney have demonstrated a quantum integrated circuit made up of just a few atoms. By precisely controlling the quantum states of the atoms, the new processor can simulate the structure ...
