Carbon Nanotubes Endure Heavy Wear and Tear Like Soft Tissue (7/16/2007)

Carbon Nanotubes Endure Heavy Wear and Tear Like Soft TissueThe ability of carbon nanotubes to withstand repeated stress yet retain their structural and mechanical integrity is similar to the behavior of soft tissue, according to a new study from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. ...> Full Article


Semiconductor Membrane Mimics Biological Behavior Of Ion Channels (7/14/2007)

A semiconductor membrane designed by researchers at the University of Illinois could offer more flexibility and better electrical performance than biological membranes. Built from thin silicon layers doped with different impurities, the solid-state membrane also could be used in applications such as single-molecule detection, protein filtering and DNA sequencing ...> Full Article


Nanotube Adhesive Sticks Better Than a Gecko's Foot (6/19/2007)

Nanotube Adhesive Sticks Better Than a Gecko's FootMimicking the agile gecko, with its uncanny ability to run up walls and across ceilings, has long been a goal of materials scientists. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Akron have taken one sticky step in the right direction, creating synthetic 'gecko tape' with four times the sticking power of the real thing. ...> Full Article
