  • Building Super Structures Through “Buckyballs and Buckytubes” Anuraag Boddupalli* Manipal Institute of Technology, India
    Boddupalli, 1:8 http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/scientificreports.396 Open Access Open Access Scientific Reports Scientific Reports Rapid Communication OpenOpen Access Access Building Super Structures through “Buckyballs and Buckytubes” Anuraag Boddupalli* Manipal Institute of Technology, India Abstract Fullerenes or buck series of hollow carbon molecules that form either a closed cage (“buckyballs”) or a cylinder (carbon “nanotubes”) represent an exciting group of nanomaterials which have a beauty and elegance that excites the imagination of scientists and nonscientists alike, as they bridge aesthetic gaps between the sciences, architecture, mathematics, engineering, and the visual arts. Since the discovery of fullerenes in 1985, structural variations on fullerenes have evolved well beyond the individual clusters themselves. Their tremendous significance is related to their unique chemistry, super conductivity, and their technological applications, especially in materials science, electronics, and nanotechnology. Researchers are now slowly unraveling the multifaceted attributes of these molecules for improving society and environment. Keywords: Carbon; Geodesic dome; Fullerenes; Nanotubes; Nanomotors Introduction Nanotechnology represents a subject which is a synthesis of different sciences and technologies at the nanometer scale. In other words, it involves a different approach to the way we arrange and rearrange matter, which in turn can be harnessed to develop need based technologies. Until 1985, graphite and diamond were believed to be the only naturally occurring forms of carbon. In the year 1902, seven year old Buckminster Fuller, like all his other classmates was given a set of toothpicks and peas to design whatever he wanted in the class. The objective of that exercise was to judge the creativity and aptitude of the child, but it took several years for people to realize the immense significance of the truncated icosahedron structure that little Figure 1: A buckminsterfullerene or a ‘Buckyball’ showing inter-atomic linkages.

Modern electron microscopes facilitate characterization (via both imaging and spectroscopy) of materials at the atomic resolution. As examples, I demonstrate some latest results on structural characterization of carbon nanotubes,1-4 graphene,5 and boron nitride mono-layer films.6 I would also like to introduce some of industrial applications of nano-carbon materials. 1.

  • Fisica De Lo Imposible
    Física de lo imposible www.librosmaravillosos.com Michio Kaku Colaboración de Sergio Barros 1 Preparado por Patricio Barros Física de lo imposible www.librosmaravillosos.com Michio Kaku Prefacio Si una idea no parece absurda de entrada, pocas esperanzas hay para ella. Albert Einstein ¿Será posible algún día atravesar las paredes? ¿Construir naves espaciales que puedan viajar a una velocidad superior a la de la luz? ¿Leer la mente de otras personas? ¿Hacerse invisible? ¿Mover objetos con el poder de nuestra mente? ¿Transportar nuestro cuerpo de manera instantánea por el espacio exterior? Desde niño me han fascinado estas preguntas. Como muchos físicos, en mi adolescencia me sentía hipnotizado por la posibilidad de que hubiera viajes en el tiempo, pistolas de rayos, campos de fuerza, universos paralelos y cosas por el estilo. Magia, fantasía y ciencia ficción constituían un gigantesco campo de juego para mi imaginación. Con ellas empezó mi duradera relación amorosa con lo imposible. Recuerdo cómo veía las reposiciones del viejo Flash Gordon en televisión. Cada sábado me encontraba pegado a la pantalla del televisor, maravillado ante las aventuras de Flash, el doctor Zarkov y Dale Arden y su impresionante despliegue de tecnología futurista: naves a reacción, escudos de invisibilidad, pistolas de rayos y ciudades en el cielo. No me perdía un episodio. El programa me abrió un mundo completamente nuevo. Me fascinaba la idea de viajar un día a un planeta lejano y explorar su territorio. Una vez en la órbita de estas fantásticas invenciones, sabía que mi destino estaba ligado de algún modo a las maravillas de la ciencia que prometía la serie.

Gorton A thesis submitted to the graduate faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department: Mechanical Industrial and Nuclear Engineering Major: Mechanical Engineering Committee: Dr. Mark J.Schulz, Advisor, Mechanical Engineering Dr. Vesselin Shanov, Co-Advisor, Materials Engineering Dr. Jay Kim, Mechanical Engineering Dr. Randy Allemang, Mechanical Engineering University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio ABSTRACT Carbon nanotubes (CNT) that comprise large clusters referred to as carbon nanotube arrays were discovered in 1991 by Sumio Iijima. Carbon nanotubes are the strongest material known to exist and have amazing electrical and thermal properties. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is currently the best method for producing relatively pure super-long CNT arrays over large surface areas. The research presented here focuses primarily on new methods for improving the various aspects of the synthesis process with the intent of growing very long CNT arrays over large substrate surface areas. Experiments were conducted to optimize certain aspects of the substrate preparation and CVD processes. In addition, amazing advances in CNT growth were obtained by combining gadolinium with iron catalyst. Research was also conducted in two areas of carbon nano-composite materials. iii iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT As I look back on my research work at the University Cincinnati, I begin to realize just how many people it took to complete this research.
