Antique Framed Print : Carbon nanotube, computer model
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Carbon nanotube, computer model
Carbon nanotube, molecular model. This is a macromolecule made entirely of carbon atoms. Most carbon nanotubes are linear and composed of hexagons of carbon. The presence of pentagonal " defects" in this structure has given the tube a spiral shape. Carbon nanotubes are a type of fullerene, large structures of carbon atoms which includes the spherical " buckyball", C60. These new materials have remarkable properties. Nanotubes act as semiconductors, which raises the possibility of using them in electronics. They are also extremely strong, and fibres made from nanotubes could find uses in materials and engineering

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer model of a carbon nanotube, a macromolecule composed entirely of carbon atoms. Typically linear and made up of hexagons, this particular nanotube exhibits an intriguing spiral shape due to the presence of pentagonal "defects" in its structure. Carbon nanotubes belong to the family of fullerenes, which includes the famous spherical "buckyball", C60. These extraordinary materials possess remarkable properties that have captivated scientists and engineers alike. One notable characteristic is their ability to act as semiconductors, opening up exciting possibilities for their use in electronics. Additionally, these nanotubes are incredibly strong, suggesting potential applications in materials science and engineering. Imagine fibers crafted from these tiny structures revolutionizing various industries with their exceptional strength. The intricate illustration beautifully captures the spiraling nature of this technological marvel while highlighting its chemical composition and physical attributes. This artwork serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of innovation at the molecular level. Displayed by Science Photo Library, this image invites us into the fascinating world where chemistry meets technology—a realm where nano-sized wonders hold immense promise for future advancements without even mentioning commercial uses.
