Tesla coil’s field causes carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into functional circuits
According to researchers at Rice University, the strong electric field of Tesla coil prompts carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into long, uniform wires. Discovered by Paul Cherukuri and his team at Rice, the process, which is being called "Teslaphoresis", could pave the way for efficient, scalable assembly of nanotubes from scratch. (more…)
