Diamond-Coated Carbon Nanotubes Make for Ultra-Thin Saws

More material could be saved when manufacturing wafers in future. Ultra-thin saws made of carbon nanotubes and diamond would be able to cut through silicon wafers with minimum kerf loss. A new method makes it possible to manufacture the saw wires.

Limitless Clean Water Everywhere: Carbon Nanotubes Could Make it Happen, Or Can They?

There were high hopes of using carbon nanotubes, particularly for ultra-fast water transport to desalinate seawater. However, a simulation now reveals that these ultra-fast transport rates might have not been properly grounded after all. Researchers who work with experiments and computer models have...
