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.
