Researchers at the University of California at Berkeley (UCB) have developed a tunable, nanotube resonator that could lead to exquisitely sensitive and versatile sensors.
Bulletproof jackets do not turn security guards, police officers and armed forces into Robocops, repelling the force of bullets in their stride. New research in carbon nanotechnology however could give those in the line of fire materials which can bounce bullets without a trace of damage.
Nanotechnologists in the College of Engineering at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa have developed a multifunctional nanocomposite material using carbon nanotube forest-grown ceramic fibre cloths. The research article based on this finding is described in the May 7 online edition of the journal Nature Materials.
