Cables made of carbon nanotubes are inching towards electrical conductivities seen in metal wires, which may light up interest among a range of industries, according to Rice University researchers. A Rice lab made such a cable from double walled carbon nanotubes and showed it powering a fluorescent light bulb at standard line voltage, a true test of the novel material’s ability to claim a stake in energy systems of the future.

Full animation duration – 16 minutes www.goalfinder.com This animation “Fullerene Synthesis – Production of Buckyball and Nanotube ” gives details about the three common processes of producing fullerene molecules. In the previous 15 years, artificial preparation of fullerenes has come up in a big way; three methods are primarily used for synthesis – laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, and electric arc discharge. Each has its pros and cons. Electric arc discharge can easily produce SWNT, MWNT and is not too expensive but tubes are short and have random sizes. Chemical vapor deposition produces good quality carbon nanotubes with long length but mainly produces multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT). Laser Ablation produces Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with low defects however it is a costly process.

MaterialsViews.com This sponge is made of carbon nanotubes, and was developed by a team of scientists in China. As you can see, it’s surprisingly flexible; it’s also lightweight, highly porous, and while it repels water, it absorbs oil products extremely effectively, making it a possible tool for future use in environmental cleanup.
