Friction Force Differences Could Offer New Means For Sorting, Assembling Nanotubes (redOrbit)
Nanoscale friction and manipulationNanotubes and nanowires are promising building blocks for future integrated nanoelectronic and photonic circuits, nanosensors, interconnects and electro-mechanical nanodevices. But some fundamental issues remain to be resolved – among them, how to position and manipulate the tiny tubes.Publishing in the journal Nature Materials this week, researchers from four … (read on…) Related items Strung-out... »
