Nature China: nanotechnology and beyond

Every week, the Editors of Nature China survey the scientific literature to identify the best recently published papers from mainland China and Hong Kong and provide a summary of the results. If you are interested in, say, nanotechnology, here are some recent highlights posted on Nature China:

Carbon nanotubes: Domino drive

The potential energy stored in a carbon nanotube can be harnessed to power tiny devices.

Nanofibres: Bright belts

Rare-earth-based nanofibres and microbelts can produce an entire rainbow of colours for electronic displays.

Fullerenes: Symmetry breakers

Researchers in Xiamen are close to making symmetry-breaking buckminsterfullerenes.

Carbon nanotubes: From stress to strength

Prestressed multiwalled carbon nanotubes have enhanced mechanical properties that are ideal for building space elevators.
