Published: November 2009

Low-frequency noise in metallic single walled carbon nanotubes is shown to be strongly dependent on the Fermi level position and the applied electric field across the nanotube. Resonance-like enhancement observed near optical phonon energy only when the Fermi level lies near the Dirac point is correlated to Raman G-band softening and broadening. The results suggest that the competition between zone-center and zone-boundary phonon scattering is the underlying origin of the large enhancement and resonance-like behavior of 1/f noise.

The challenge of increasing food production while maintaining environmental sustainability can be addressed by using biofertilizers such as Azospirillum, which can enhance plant growth and colonize more than 100 plant species. The success of this biotechnology depends on the amount of plant growth-promoting bacteria associated with the plant during crop development. However, monitoring bacterial population dynamics after inoculation requires time-consuming, laborious, and costly procedures.

A mounting number of studies have been documenting strong pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic effects of carbon nanotube (CNT). However, the molecular mechanisms of single-walled CNT (SWCNT)-provoked lung injury remain to be elucidated. Here, we established a mice model of SWCNT-induced lung injury by intratracheal instillation and found that C5a-C5a receptor-1 (C5aR1) signaling was significantly activated along with abundant neutrophils recruitment in lungs at early phase post SWCNT administration, which were positively correlated with early lung inflammation and late pulmonary fibrosis.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has emerged as a promising nanomaterial with a wide range of potential applications due to their unique structural, mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. However, numerous obstacles must be overcome for CNTs to be used successfully, including low solubility, aggregation, and a lack of specialized functions. Diverse techniques have been developed for the manufacture, purification, and functionalization of CNTs in order to overcome these issues.
