Scientists use surfactant to help make ‘inert’ templates for nanotube growth
Oct 15, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have used a surfactant to disperse insulating boron nitride nanotubes and coat them onto surfaces without bundling (ACS Nano, "Surfactant-Assisted Isolation of Small-Diameter Boron-Nitride Nanotubes for Molding One-Dimensional van der Waals Heterostructures"). The team demonstrated that heat treatment could remove...

Astronomers detect exceptional cosmic blast
Oct 15, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers around the world are captivated by an unusually bright and long-lasting pulse of high-energy radiation that swept over Earth Sunday, Oct. 9. The emission came from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) – the most powerful class of explosions in the universe – that ranks among...
