In a recent article published in Gels, researchers from China developed multilayer porous plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gel artificial muscles using carbon nanotube-doped 3D-printed silicone ...

Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one-dimensional, nanoscale, hollow, tubular structures that are composed of carbon atoms. These carbonaceous nanostructures were formally named by Sumio Iijima in 1991, ...

Lightweight and high strength are perpetual pursuits for fiber materials. In response to the application requirements of fibers in high strain rate scenarios such as battlefield protection and space ...
