If we’re going to capture our carbon emissions, we might as well put them to use
Instead of storing carbon, researchers want to convert it into fuel.
‘Smart skin’ simplifies spotting strain in structures
A 'smart skin' employs the unique fluorescent characteristics of carbon nanotubes to quickly assess strain in materials. The method is intended for aircraft, spacecraft and critical infrastructures in which mechanical strain needs to be monitored.
