"Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) polarize readily in the presence of electromagnetic (EM) fields, enabling a variety of electrochemical reactions. Here, we study the reaction of transition metal ion salts in the presence of surfactant-stabilized SWNT individually suspended in water when activated by alternating EM fields in the radio frequency (RF), microwave (MW), and optical regimes," scientists in the United States report.
"Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images show formation of novel SWNT nanoparticle-nanotube structures (nanoPaNTs). The resulting nanoPaNTs include SWNT with metallic nanoparticles at one or both tips (''dumbbells''), SWNT toroids, and ...
