Raman technology is used as a molecular fingerprint to identify specific molecules, to predict the chemical concentrations in mixtures, and to analyze molecular structures. This is possible due to the ...

Recently, closed cellular and open porous structures on the nanometer scale have been attracting much attention. Our group has developed a novel method for producing such nanocellular and nanoporous ...

(A) This is the structure of stearic acid, an 18-carbon saturated fatty acid. The normal numbering system, starting with the carboxylic acid, is shown in blue. The carbons and oxygens of the ...

Nagoya, Japan - Single-walled carbon nanotubes should theoretically be extremely strong, but it remains unclear why their experimental tensile strengths are lower and vary among nanotubes. A team at ...
