Title
Top down bottom up: Going for growth.
Abstract
The article reports on the partnership of researchers from AIST laboratory, including Kenji Hata, with Zeon Corp. for the mass production of carbon nanotubes. The standard method for producing single-walled nanotubes involves expensive silicon substrates, but the supergrowth approach discovered by AIST researchers uses a cheaper nickel alloy to achieve comparable purity and properties.
