Scientists at the Air Force Research Laboratory have “twisted” upon a new way to harvest mechanical energy using “yarns” that weigh less than a common housefly. Carbon nanotube-based “twistron” yarns, ...

Yarns made of the tiny straws of carbon called nanotubes have an astounding ability to twist as they contract, scientists have found. The effect, reported in Science, is similar to the action of ...

A new study from researchers has created a new material that is repurposed to bring people energy and power, and it is via an odd item that most people would not think of, yarn. This invention is ...

Nanotubes continue to amaze scientists with their mechanical and electronic properties Yarns made of the tiny straws of carbon called nanotubes have an astounding ability to twist as they contract, ...
