Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

A sheet of twisted carbon nanotubes has revealed a hidden talent scientists suspected for decades but had never managed to ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner by RIKEN researchers. Such carbon nanotubes could form the basis of future ...

Researchers at IBM and the University of Toronto are squeezing light out of molecules. Scientists at IBM Research have discovered a new way to get carbon nanotubes to emit light, a breakthrough that ...

Rice University researchers have discovered a simple way to make carbon nanotubes shine brighter. The Rice lab of researcher Bruce Weisman, a pioneer in nanotube spectroscopy, found that adding tiny ...
