We demonstrate solution processable large area field effect transistors (FETs) from aligned arrays of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Commercially available, surfactant free CNTs suspended in aqueous solution were aligned between source and drain…

Hydrophilic nanotubes formed by lipid molecules have potential applications as platforms for chemical or biological events occurring in an attolitre volume inside a hollow cylinder. Here, we have integrated the lipid nanotubes (LNTs) by…

The electrolysis of CO$_2$ in molten carbonate has been introduced as an alternative mechanism to synthesize carbon nanomaterials inexpensively at high yield. Until recently, CO$_2$ was thought to be unreactive, making its removal a…

Carbon fibers, especially those constructed from carbon nanotubes (CNTs), have attracted intensive interests from both scientific and engineering communities due to their outstanding physical properties. In this workHere we report, we find…

Corrosion is an inevitable phenomenon that is inherent in metals and even though there has been significant research on this subject, no ideal protection has been discovered to fully prevent corrosion. However, methods such as using…

High-density carbon nanotube networks (CNNs) continue to attract interest as active elements in nanoelectronic devices, nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and multifunctional nanocomposites. The interplay between the network nanostructure…

In recent experiments, unprecedentedly large values for the conductivity of electrolytes through carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been measured, possibly owing to flow slip and a high pore surface charge density whose origin is still unknown.…

Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) is a soft ionization method that finds widespread applications in high-throughput mass spectrometric analysis. One of the main limit of this technique is that it requires the use of…

Efficient and controlled charge transport in networks of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes is the basis for their application in electronic devices, especially in field-effect transistors and thermoelectrics. The recent advances…

Understanding the molecular and electronic structure of electrolytes at interfaces requires an analysis of the interactions between the electrode surface, the ions, and the solvent environment on equal footing. Here, we tackle this…

C2CNT (Carbon dioxide to carbon nanotube) cement plants have been introduced and analyzed which provide a significant economic incentive to eliminate the massive CO2 greenhouse gas emissions of current plants and serves as a template for…

The inability to synthesize single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) possessing uniform electronic properties and chirality represents the major impediment to their widespread applications. Recently, there is growing interest to explore and…

Autonomous navigation of drones using computer vision has achieved promising performance. Nano-sized drones based on edge computing platforms are lightweight, flexible, and cheap, thus suitable for exploring narrow spaces. However, due to…

Free-standing, interconnected metallic nanowire networks with density as low as 40 mg/cm^{3} have been achieved over cm-scale areas, using electrodeposition into polycarbonate membranes that have been ion-tracked at multiple angles.…

In percolating networks of mixed metallic and semiconducting CNTs, there is a tradeoff between high on-current (dense networks) and high on/off ratio (sparse networks in which the metallic CNT fraction is not percolating). Experiments on…

Helium nanodroplets ("HNDs") are widely used for forming tailor-made clusters and molecular complexes in a cold, transparent, and weakly-interacting matrix. Characterization of embedded species by mass spectrometry is often complicated by…

Supercapacitors are electric devices able to deliver a large power, enabling their use e.g. for the recovery of breaking energy in cars. This is achieved by using two carbon electrodes and an electrolyte solution or a pure ionic liquid…

The quasi-neutral hybrid model with kinetic ions and fluid electrons is a promising approach for bridging the inherent multi-scale nature of many problems in space and laboratory plasmas. Here, a novel, implicit, particle-in-cell based…

Integrated micro-nanochannel networks in fluidic devices are desirable in a number of applications ranging from self-healing/cooling materials to bioengineering. The conventional micro-manufacturing techniques are capable of either…

Nanoporous carbon-based supercapacitors store electricity through adsorption of ions from the electrolyte at the surface of the electrodes. Room temperature ionic liquids, which show the largest ion concentrations among organic liquid…
