CNT yarns can be used in thermoelectric devices to produce electricity from low-grade waste heat. To this end, researchers from Okayama University in Japan developed a doping protocol to produce ...

Nanotechnology researchers have made novel carbon nanotube yarns that convert mechanical movement into electricity more effectively than other material-based energy harvesters. Nanotechnology ...

Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns are promising for flexible and fabric-type wearable materials that can convert waste heat into thermoelectricity. To improve the thermoelectric properties of CNT yarns, ...

Despite their immense potential, the road to translating the superlative properties of individual carbon nanotubes into high-performance macroscopic fibers and yarns has been fraught with challenges.

Most of the existing energy storage and structural materials have only one property between high strength or high energy storage capacity. By using carbon nanotube fiber that is light, strong, and has ...

Researchers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology have identified that the poor mechanical performance of carbon nanotube (CNT) bundles and yarns is likely due to localized rearrangements of the CNTs ...

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 ...

In a recent article published in the journal Carbon, researchers from Korea investigated the effects of microstructural evolution on the density of carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers. The density of CNTs is ...
