Latest updates, research findings, and industry perspectives
The CNT Dispatch is a monthly deep dive into what's happening on the frontiers of Carbon Nanotube research and the emerging nanotube applications delivering exponential technological advances across the globe.
Researchers developed a process for creating robust, lightweight bricks from Lunar and Martian soil using CNTs as a binder, with compressive strength comparable to granite.
CNTs can protect qubits from interference and reduce errors, potentially enabling scalable quantum systems and reducing the carbon footprint of advanced computing.
CNTs could play a pivotal role in the clean energy transition — enhancing battery density, extending lifespan, and improving grid efficiency by reducing transmission losses.
The world's first CNT-based heated blanket, launched by Jartoo, heats up in just one minute and reduces energy use by 60% compared to traditional electric blankets.
A study from Harvard Medical School revealed that CNT X-ray tubes consume 17% less energy and produce 44% less radiation than conventional filament tubes while maintaining equal image quality.
Space elevators could offer a cost-effective alternative to rocket-based space travel, and CNTs — known for exceptional strength and flexibility — could make the required 22,000-mile tether possible.
A breakthrough from KERI introduces a dry dispersion technology that minimises CNT aggregation and enhances environmental sustainability of secondary battery production processes.
A breakthrough by researchers at Tohoku University used a novel catalyst to grow CNTs with precise (6,5) chirality and 95% purity, enabling scalable production of tailored CNTs.
