An ideal black object absorbs all of the colors of light and reflects none of them. Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated a new concept based on a low-density nanotube array material that can be engineered to dramatically change an object�??s index of refraction and nanoscale roughness, hence, its optical reflection.

Read moreNanotechnology researchers have spent the past few years developing a whole range of methods for separating different types of single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), from centrifuging them in a density gradient to attaching diazonium salts and then separating them by electrophoresis. But it now looks as though ion exchange chromatography might provide the best solution, not just being able to separate metallic SWNTs from semi-conducting SWNTs but able to separate every type of SWNT according to its specific electrical properties.

String-like connections found between T-cells could be important to how HIV spreads between cells in the human immune system, according to new research published online today in Nature Cell Biology. The newly-discovered strands, named 'membrane nanotubes' by scientists, could help to explain how the HIV virus infects human immune cells so quickly and effectively.
