A Stellar, Metal-Free Way to Make Carbon Nanotubes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Physorg.com, Feb. 22, 2010<\/p>\n

A new\u00a0method<\/a> of growing\u00a0carbon<\/a> nanotubes<\/a> without requiring platinum or another metal as a catalyst has been developed by\u00a0research<\/a>ers at\u00a0NASA<\/a>’s Goddard \u00a0Center.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0carbon<\/a> nanotubes<\/a> are produced when graphite dust\u00a0particle<\/a>s are exposed to a mixture of\u00a0carbon<\/a> monoxide and\u00a0hydrogen<\/a> gases.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0method<\/a> was suggested by a 2008 discovery that the long, thin\u00a0carbon<\/a> structure<\/a>s known as graphite whiskers — essentially, bigger cousins of\u00a0carbon<\/a> nanotubes<\/a> — were identified in three meteorites.\u00a0Research<\/a>ers suspect that it could have produced at least some of the simple\u00a0carbon<\/a>-based compounds in the early\u00a0solar system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The work also could help\u00a0research<\/a>ers understand puzzling observations about some supernovas.<\/p>\n
