Ajayan and researchers from the University of Hawaii at Manoa previously developed tiny brushes with bristles made from carbon nanotubes, which could be used for tasks that range from cleaning microscopic surfaces to serving as electrical contacts.
Ajayan and Ramanath have combined formerly disparate areas of research to grow and direct the assembly of nanotubes.
Ajayan and researchers in Germany, Mexico, the U.K., and Belgium used irradiation and heat to form the welded junctions.
Ajayan believes that the inherent structure of boron carbide, which has icosahedral units in the unit cell, allows the crystals to grow to micron size without the strain.
