Defects in carbon nanotubes could lead to improved charging for cell phones
Thiruvananthapuram :: India | 7 days ago
Credibility
Bandaru, along with graduate student Mark Hoefer, have found that artificially introduced defects in nanotubes can aid the development of supercapacitors. "While batteries have large storage capacity, they take a long time to charge; while electrostatic...
