Despite their immense potential, the road to translating the superlative properties of individual carbon nanotubes into high-performance macroscopic fibers and yarns has been fraught with challenges.

In order to perceive the state of the process of reverse thinning spinning of the ultra-thin wall tube, a monitoring method based on drum shape is proposed. The method uses the non-uniform rational ...

The Humboldt Handweavers and Spinners will hold its monthly meeting Sept. 8 at the Wharfinger Building, 1 Marina Way in Eureka. This meeting is open to the public. Masking is optional, and masks will ...

Scientists create the first boron nitride nanotube fibers using the custom wet-spinning process they developed to make carbon nanotube fibers. Boron nitride nanotubes used to be hard to process, ...

Spiders hold the market for the strongest silks but are too aggressive and territorial to be farmed. The next best alternative involves incorporating spider DNA into silkworms, an expensive and ...
