All Welcome
Carbon nanotubes - sheets of graphite rolled up into seamless cylinders- have revolutionised experimental low-dimensional physics and their remarkable electrical and mechanical properties have captured the attention of researchers worldwide. The talk will begin with an introduction to the physics of nanotubes. Examples of some of the many applications of nanotubes ranging from nanoscale electronics and tools to manipulate individual atoms, to exceptionally strong materials, flat panel displays and hydrogen fuel cells will be discussed.
