"Carbon nanotubes play a crucial role in boosting the aerogel's photothermal conversion efficiency, enabling quicker water release with minimal energy consumption." To demonstrate the material's ...

By converting magnesium chloride into a super hygroscopic magnesium complex and incorporating it into aerogels composed of sodium alginate and carbon nanotubes, they developed a composite aerogel ...

Carbon Aerogel monoliths from Aerogel Technologies are electrically-conductive aerogels composed of amorphous carbon. Useful for applications where both a high surface area and electrical conductivity ...

Three RIKEN physicists have discovered how tiny tubes of carbon spit out light that is more energetic than the light shone on ...

A team of engineers from the University of Bath has created a new company, Aerogel Core Ltd, specialising in ultra-light 'aerogels' that can be used as soundproofing and heat-shielding materials for ...

Scientists have developed a flexible conductive material made up of carbon nanotubes, cross-linked polymers, and enzymes connected to each and printed through screen-printing. This type of ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A standard microwave oven sits on a laboratory bench. Inside, a small sample of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) erupts into brilliant yellow-white plasma, reaching temperatures over 800 ...
