Scientists at rice university have developed a way to make carbon nanotubes self-assemble in a dish using a powerful Tesla coil transformer circuit. Similar to graphene, carbon nanotubes are considered “supermaterials” with many potential applications but they have yet to be implemented on a wide scale. This new development will allow scientists to build circuits without actually touching them, marking a major step forward for potential uses of the material.
-blam!- yeah. Science.

3 RepliesSpeaking of graphene, I hear you can substitute aluminum for it in hydrogen fuel cells and produce the same effect. Is that true?
