Source: website of Nature magazineCarbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been widely used in seawater desalination because of their extraordinary water transport speed. However, the water transport mechanism behind CNTs has not been fully characterized, which reflects the difficulty of measuring the permeability of a single nanotube. Now, Lyd ric Bocquet and colleagues have shown (Nature 2916, 537, 210) that the permeability of a single nanotube can be accurately determined by observing the hydrodynamics of a water jet coming out of a single nanotube into the surrounding fluid. The measured results show...

According to Tsinghua University Material College Network August 18, 2016, in graphene oxide (GO) layered films, oxygen-containing functional groups support the SP2 nanocapillary network, this unique structure has ultra-fast water transport characteristics and excellent selectivity for different solutes in water, in the field of filtration and separation has potential applications. It has been widely accepted that GO thin films can be used to screen solute molecules and ions larger than the critical size of interlayer nanocapillaries for nanofiltration and ultrafiltration. However, the use of ...

Small voltage can flip thin film between two crystal states — one metallic, one semiconducting.TwoMIT researchers have developed a thin-film material whose phase and electrical properties can be switched between metallic and semiconducting simply by applying a small voltage. The material then stays in its new configuration until switched back by another voltage. The discovery could pave the way for a new kind of “nonvolatile” computer memory chip that retains information when the power is switchedoff, and for energy conversion and catalytic applications.The findings, reported in the journal Na...
