Researchers grow half-meter long carbon nanotubes (Nanowerk Spotlight) A space elevator based on carbon nanotube (CNT) cables is one of those ideas from 1950s-style futurism that are so whacky they might just work. There is an annual Space Elevator Conference to discuss progress and a Japanese construction firm even has announced plans to build a [...]

From Hemp fiber to low-cost graphene-like material
Hemp fiber used to develop low-cost graphene-like nanomaterial. Researchers from the University of Alberta developed a new low-cost process to turn hemp bast fibers into graphene-like materials that can be used in energy storage electronics. They use a part of the hemp plant called the bast, which is usually thrown away during industrial hemp production [...]
Researchers use graphene nanosheets to fabricate electroconductive textiles
(Nanowerk News) Researchers from Islamic Azad University, Yazd Branch, successfully used graphene nanosheets to design and fabricate electroconductive fibers in which the amount of conductivity can be adjusted (« Fabricating electroconductive cotton textiles using graphene« ). The obtained textiles have the ability to be used in the fabrication of electronic, smart, electromagnetic-resistant, waterproof, and multipurpose fibers. “The [...]
