High surface area carbon aerogels as porous substrates for direct growth of carbon nanotubes.

Novel carbon composites are fabricated through catalyzed CVD growth of carbon nanotubes directly on the inner surfaces of monolithic carbon aerogel (CA) substrates. Uniform CNT yield is obtained throughout the internal pore volume of CA monoliths with macroscopic dimensions. These composites possess large surface areas (>1000 m(2) g(-1)) and exhibit enhanced electrical conductivity following CN...

Carbon Nanotubes as Optical Antennae

Light scattering from an array of aligned multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has previously been investigated, and shown to be consistent with that from an array of antennae. Two basic antenna effects have been demonstrated: 1) the polarization effect, which suppresses the response of an antenna when the electric field of the incoming radiation is polarized perpendicular to the dipole antenna ...

Compressed carbon nanotubes: A family of new multifunctional carbon allotropes

The exploration of novel functional carbon polymorphs is an enduring topic of scientific investigations. In this paper, we present simulations demonstrating metastable carbon phases as the result of pressure induced carbon nanotube polymerization. The configuration, bonding, electronic, and mechanical characteristics of carbon polymers strongly depend on the imposed hydrostatic/non-hydrostatic ...

Turning over a new leaf. Tobacco.

Anticipating a diminishing market for cigarettes and other tobacco products in the future, researchers around the country are studying alternative uses for tobacco plants. The most promising field of research for tobacco involves the genetic engineering of tobacco plants to produce various substances such as industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer product ingredients. Tobacco has be...

Phylogenetic systematics turns over a new leaf.

Long restricted to the domain of molecular systematics and studies of molecular evolution, likelihood methods are now being used in analyses of discrete morphological data, specifically to estimate ancestral character states and for tests of character correlation. Biologists are beginning to apply likelihood models within a Bayesian statistical framework, which promises not only to provide answ...
