By pulling from the edge of the nanotube «forest,» the team assembles bundles of hundreds of
individual nanotubes into threads.
Individual nanotubes can be 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair, yet 100 times stronger than steel, pound - for - pound
She investigated and helped explain the fundamental interactions between electrons and phonons in nanostructures, and by the year 2000 was able to isolate the Raman spectra from
individual nanotubes.
The strong bonds between adjacent carbon atoms make
individual nanotubes one of the toughest materials known.
But coaxing
individual nanotubes to wrap into fibers has proven challenging.
Such a gap allowed solutions to flow over, then down into the forest, coating
each individual nanotube.

Single - wall fullerene
nanotubes were converted from nearly endless, highly tangled ropes into short, open - ended pipes that behave as
individual macromolecules.
He says the current is probably pulling the
individual atoms along electrostatically, and that this may be how nanocrystals move through all
nanotubes.
This won't be easy, because each
individual carbon
nanotube's conductive properties are dependent on how they are formed, Raffaelle says.
