Nanometer nanotubes for future electronics
Researchers in Japan created some of the world’s smallest semiconducting nanotubes, structures 100,000 times thinner than a human hair. By growing molybdenum disulfide inside protective tubes of boron nitride, researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, produced highly uniform tubes just 1 nanometer wide, a scale at which it’s difficult to make stable nanotube structures. The work confirms decades-old theoretical predictions about how these ultrafine materials behave and could also provide a new route toward miniaturized electronic devices.
From boiling droplets to hydrogen storage, surface geometry matters.
A newly proposed carbon monolayer with engineered pores and lithium anchoring shows how nanoscale design can tune gas–surface interactions and molecular mobility.
