Materials built from double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWNTs) have unique properties derived from the combination of features from single-walled nanotubes (SWNTs) and multi-walled nanotubes (MWNTs). Transparent conductors, for instance, are best fit for solar energy cells or flat displays, and as the need for these inc... |

Lightning and music don't seem to go together very well, as an unfortunate man found out the hard way. He was jogging in Vancouver, Canada and listening to music on his MP3 player, when a lightning struck a tree nearby and his earphones conducted the electricity through his head.Fortunately for him, it wasn... |

Carbon nanotubes, though a relatively recent find, have fueled the imagination of many scientists, who strongly believe that they are the future of electronic circuitry. Polymers are repeating structural units, or monomers, connected by covalent chemical bonds, present in many natural and artificial materials, from ... |

Juan Flores Lopez, 47, died this week in Texas, at a local hospital, after bursting into flames. The problem is that the fire started when he was shot by a policeman with a Taser gun, thought to be reliable and non-lethal by most police agencies.After initially using pepper spray on the man, with no effect, the poli... |

Carbon nanotubes, though a relatively recent invention, have fueled the imagination of many scientists, who strongly believe that they are the future of electronic circuitry and so, the successors of silicon, who by now has almost reached the limit of its applications. Now, a team of scientists at Rensselaer Polytec... |
