Latest updates, research findings, and industry perspectives
What makes a technology bubble burst, and what does history reveal about CNTs? A conversation with historian Cyrus Mody explores hype cycles, scale-up challenges, and whether nanotubes are finally becoming an enduring industry.
A recent Nature Nanotechnology study revealed that single-walled CNTs twisted into ropes can store three times more energy per unit mass than advanced lithium-ion batteries.
The CNT industry saw strong growth in 2024, expanding to $6.88 billion and projected to reach $18.67 billion by 2032, driven by major investments and advancements in CNT production and applications.
A recent Science study shows that CNT yarns twisted into helical filaments emit ultra-bright circularly polarised light, opening opportunities in telecommunications, data transmission, and aerospace.
Researchers at Rice University demonstrated that CNT fibres can be fully recycled without any loss in performance — a key discovery for achieving a truly circular economy.
CNTs are transforming battery technology by addressing critical challenges in Li-Ion, Li-S, and Na-Ion batteries, improving capacity, stability, and efficiency.
Tiannai Technology supplied single-walled CNT products to leading solid-state battery manufacturers. Early tests show CNT-enhanced batteries retain over 90% capacity after 500 charge cycles.
CNTs are emerging as a critical solution in semiconductor manufacturing, offering durable EUV pellicles with exceptional thermal stability, high transmittance, and low flare for next-gen chip production.
Researchers at RIKEN developed a theory for how CNTs can emit light with more energy than they absorb, paving the way for opto-thermal cooling and sustainable alternatives to traditional cooling systems.
