Nanotube production leaps from sooty mess in test tube to ready formed chemical microsensors
Carbon nanotubes potential as a super material is blighted by the fact that when first made they often take the form of an unprepossessing pile of sooty black mess in the bottom of a test tube. Now researchers in the University of Warwicks Department of Chemistry have found a way of producing ca...An Image-Based Assay of Endothelial Cell Tube Formation as a Model of Angiogenesis
