Carbon Nanotube Actuators
Ray H. Baughman,Changxing Cui,Anvar A. Zakhidov,Zafar Iqbal,Joseph N. Barisci,G.M. Spinks,Gordon G. Wallace,Alberto Mazzoldi,Danillo de Rossi,Andrew G. Rinzler,Oliver Jaschinski,S. Roth,Miklos Kertesz +12 more
TL;DR: Predictions based on measurements suggest that actuators using optimized nanotube sheets may eventually provide substantially higher work densities per cycle than any previously known technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Structures with Three-Dimensional Periodicity at Optical Wavelengths
Anvar A. Zakhidov,Ray H. Baughman,Zafar Iqbal,Changxing Cui,Ilyas I. Khayrullin,Sócrates O. Dantas,Jordi Marti,Victor G. Ralchenko +7 more
TL;DR: The carbon inverse opals provide examples of both dielectric and metallic optical photonic crystals that strongly diffract light and may provide a route toward photonic band-gap materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of grain boundaries on the Raman spectra, optical absorption, and elastic light scattering in nanometer-sized crystalline silicon
TL;DR: It is suggested that the enhancement of the scattering cross section, which scales with the observed optical-absorption coefficient and diffuse elastic light scattering, is due to enhanced coupling of the electromagnetic field of the incident light to the charge-density fluctuations at the grain boundaries of the quasi-isolated crystallites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapidly functionalized, water-dispersed carbon nanotubes at high concentration.
TL;DR: Stable concentrations as high as 10 mg/mL were obtained in deionized water that are nearly 2 orders of magnitude higher than those previously reported, and the microwave-processed SWNTs were found to contain significantly smaller amounts of the original iron catalyst relative to that present in the starting nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes Are a New Class of Ion Channel Blockers
TL;DR: A novel class of biological membrane ion channel blockers called single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are identified and postulate new uses for SWNTs in biological applications and provide unexpected insights into the current view of mechanisms governing the interaction of ion channels with blocking molecules.
