carbon nanotubes [‚kär·bən ′nan·ō‚tübz]

(chemistry)

Cylindrical molecules (sealed at both ends with a convex arrangement of atoms) composed of carbon with a diameter of around 1 nanometer and lengths up to a few micrometers. Single-walled nanotubes may be conducting or semiconducting, depending on the diameter and chirality of the tube. Multiwall nanotubes containing coaxial shells of the elemental single-wall nanotubes are also possible.

No references found			A variety of models for simulating carbon nanotubes have been proposed as yet but molecular simulation methods like molecular dynamics are very time-consuming and expensive despite their high precision. Quick, Low-Cost Method Introduced for Nanotubes Application in ... by FARS News Agency The team used a technique that involves carbon nanotubes with built-in aptamers, or small fragments of artificial DNA or RNA, that activate an electrical signal when they link up with the pathogen. Biosensor by Microbial Update International The technique uses carbon nanotubes and synthetic DNA fragments that activate an electric signal when they link up with the pathogen.
