Unfortunately, there are three barriers to utilizing a laser to produce excitons within carbon nanotubes. First, a laser beam is often 1,000 times broader than a nanotube, thus the material ...

Surprisingly, we found that carbon nanotube fibers far exceed the recyclability potential ... Rice undergraduate alumnus Juan De La Garza, now of Axiom Space; and Geoff Wehmeyer, assistant professor ...

In a significant step toward creating a sustainable and circular economy, Rice University researchers have published a landmark study in the journal Carbon demonstrating that carbon nanotube (CNT ...
