Researchers Grow Carbon Nanofibers Using Ambient Air, Without Toxic Ammonia
Raleigh NC (SPX) Mar 25, 2014 - Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated that vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) can be manufactured using ambient air, making the manufacturing process safer and less expensive. VACNFs hold promise for use in gene-delivery tools, sensors, batteries and other technologies. Conventional techniques for creating VACNFs rely on the use of ammonia gas, which ... more
