Easy paper printing of Carbon nanotubes
TROY, N.Y., Aug. 30 (UPI) -- U.S. scientists using an off-the-shelf inkjet printer have developed a technique for printing patterns of carbon nanotubes on paper and plastic surfaces.
Most current techniques to make nanotube-based devices require complex and expensive equipment. This method can fabricate nanotubes by printing easily and simply on paper.
IMO: This is another idea, like the one I gave on August 22nd, that might well be good for important but inexpensive research or at least an article in somewhere like Make magazine. There are plenty of good ideas that such nanotubes can be used for or they can possibly even be sold.
