Carbon nanotubes - tiny, rolled-up tubes of graphite - promise to add speed
to electronic circuits and strength to materials like carbon composites, used in
airplanes and racecars. A major problem, however, is that the metals used to
grow...

MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to
stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and
other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost.
Moreover,...

MIT engineers have created a kind of beltway that allows for the rapid
transit of electrical energy through a well-known battery material, an advance
that could usher in smaller, lighter batteries -- for cell phones and other
devices -- that...

MIT Professor of Chemical Engineering Gregory Rutledge keeps a small piece of
fabric that at first glance resembles a Kleenex. This tissue-like material,
softer than silk, is composed of fibers that are a thousand times thinner than a
human...
