Carbon Nanomaterials in Biological Studies and Biomedicine.
The "carbon nano-world" has made over the past few decades huge contributions in diverse scientific disciplines and technological advances. While dramatic advances have been widely publicized in using carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene in materials sciences, nano-electronics, and photonics, their contributions to biology and biomedicine have been noteworthy ...
متن کاملPolarons in carbon nanotubes.
We use ab initio total-energy calculations to predict the existence of polarons in semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs). We find that the CNTs' band edge energies vary linearly and the elastic energy increases quadratically with both radial and with axial distortions, leading to the spontaneous formation of polarons. Using a continuum model parametrized by the ab initio calculations, we estim...
متن کاملElectrowetting in carbon nanotubes.
We demonstrate reversible wetting and filling of open single-wall carbon nanotubes with mercury by means of electrocapillary pressure originating from the application of a potential across an individual nanotube in contact with a mercury drop. Wetting improves the conductance in both metallic and semiconducting nanotube probes by decreasing contact resistance and forming a mercury nanowire insi...
متن کاملDefects in carbon nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes are quasi one-dimensional nanostructures with unique eletrical prroperties that make them prime candidates for molecular electronics, which is certainly a most promising direction in nanotechnology. Early theoretical works predicted that the electronic properties of "ideal" carbon nanotubes depend on their diameter and chirality. However, carbon nanotubes are probably not as pe...

The Amazing and Versatile Carbon – Chemical basis for life With an atomic number of 6, Carbon is the 4th most abundant element in the Universe by mass after (Hydrogen Helium and Oxygen). It forms more compounds that any other element, with almost 10 million pure organic compounds. Abundance, together with the unique diversity of organic compounds and their unusual polymer forming ability at the...
