Development of nano and biotechnologies encouraged us to develop a concept of automated building, which will significantly reduce the many negative impacts of traditional construction on the environment. The paper describes the concept of Nanoto meter-scale building, a new way of building, which unfolds from the nano into the meter range. The concept is based on bionanorobots, producing buildin...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted attention for their remarkable electrical properties and have being explored as one of the best building blocks in nano-electronics. A key challenge to realize such potential is the control of the nanotube growth directions. Even though both vertical growth and controlled horizontal growth of carbon nanotubes have been realized before, the growth of comple...

0.1016/j.nanoen.2 lsevier Ltd. All rig thor. [email protected] Abstract The reversibility and stability of Li2S electrode can be improved by carbon coating on nano sized Li2S. However, how to uniformly coat a dense layer of carbon on nano sized Li2S is still challenge so far. Here, we utilized a novel flowable ionic liquid (1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide) as a carbon precursor to uniformly...

This paper presents the design and analysis of nano-structured gratings to improve the conversion efficiency in GaAs solar cells by reducing the light reflection losses. A finite-difference time domain (FDTD) simulation tool is used to design and simulate the light reflection losses of the subwavelength grating (SWG) structure in GaAs solar cells. The SWG structures perform as an excellent alte...

Nano-carbons, including fullerenes, carbon nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, graphene, and nano-diamonds, are an important class of nanostructures attracting tremendous interests in the past two decades. In this special issue, seven review articles and research reports are collected, to summarize and present the latest progress in the exploration of various nano-carbons for theranostic applicati...

Room temperature magnetic field effects have not been definitively observed in either single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) or C₆₀ under a small magnetic field due to their weak hyperfine interaction and slight difference of g-factor between positive and negative polarons. Here, we demonstrate charge-transfer induced magnetic field effects in nano-carbon C₆₀-SWCNT bulk heterojunctions at room...

ISSN 2250 – 1088 | © 2011 Bonfring Abstract--This paper presents a high-Q MWCNT (Multi Wall Carbon Nano-Tube) network based pulse-shaped on-chip embedded nano-inductor for power electronic circuits. This high-Q inductor is fabricated using a composite of MWCNT (multi Wall Carbon Nano Tube) network and Fe in semiconductor processing environment. A layer of nano composite film (Cu/CoFe2o4) is pat...

Several unusual forms of natural graphite from an alkaline pegmatite that crosscuts rischorrite in the Hackman Valley, Khibiny Massif, Kola Peninsula, Russia are described. The graphite occurs macroscopically in two forms: as spherical aggregates up to 2 cm in diameter of friable, radially-aligned fibers ~20 μm in cross section, and as finegrained surface coatings in cavities covering aegirine,...

In this study, carbon nano-micro spheres with tightly controllable size, regular and perfect shape, high yields and narrow size distribution were prepared simply from glucose and DI water as precursors using a hydrothermal method. By setting the initial concentration of glucose solution and changing the hydrothermal process time at a constant temperature of 160 °C, carbon spheres with various s...
