Findings from preclinical studies could point to therapeutic strategies for Huntington’s disease, as well as other neurodegenerative disorders and potentially cancer.

Huntington's disease is a devastating brain disorder that slowly robs people of movement, memory, and personality. It is ...

Skoltech researchers have developed an ultrathin carbon nanotube coating that absorbs terahertz radiation on silicon ...

Aromatic molecules adsorb onto carbon nanotube walls via pi-pi interactions, slowing supercritical water flow and reducing gasification efficiency, a new simulation study finds.

Silicon nanotube arrays deliver functional mRNA into human pluripotent stem cells for the first time, achieving up to 64% transfection without compromising stem cell identity.

Carbon nanotubes are known for exhibiting unique mechanical, electrical and thermal properties, useful for a wide range of applications in materials. Their mechanical strength properties are deployed ...

Could tiny threads of carbon fiber do the same job as big metal industrial heating coils? A new breakthrough from researchers at Rice University says yes, and the finding could go a long way toward ...

A new class of carbon nanotubes could be the next-generation clean-up crew for toxic sludge and contaminated water, say researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology. Enhanced single-walled carbon ...

Carbon nanotubes have some very fascinating electrical and thermal properties. The tubes are either a metal or a semiconductor, depending on the chirality of the tube—a nanotube is a rolled-up sheet ...

CNTs possess great conductivity and high aspect ratio which enables the formation of a network of conductive tubes. Their exceptional mechanical properties derive from an amalgamation of strength, ...

Glioblastoma is widely considered the most aggressive brain cancer. Even with treatment, patient survival rates are low, with most living an average of 15-18 months after diagnosis. Because of the ...
