Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), with their exceptional mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and chemical resilience, are revolutionizing industries. These tubular structures come in two main types: single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), or single chirality carbon nanotubes, are known for their flexibility and conductivity, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), valued for strength and scalability. The precise arrangement of carbon…

Nanotechnology is transforming the landscape of materials science, bringing forth innovations to conventional technologies that were once the realm of science fiction. Nanotechnology in materials science involves the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale. Essentially, it’s the science of the extremely small, dealing with structures sized between 1 and 100 nanometers….
