In two new papers, researchers report using ultracentrifugation to create highly purified samples of carbon nanotube species. One team has made a small but significant step toward the dream of an efficient nationwide electrical grid that depends on highly conductive quantum nanowire. The other team employed UCF to prepare structurally sorted batches of semiconducting nanotubes that could find critical uses in medicine and electronics.
