There are a number of methods of making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes. Fullerenes were first observed after vaporizing graphite with a short-pulse, high-power laser, however this was not a ...
A simple electrical method provides an alternative way to prepare graphene samples, according to researchers in India. Graphene—one-atom-thick sheets of carbon packed in a honeycomb structure—has ...
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, ...
