Rice University researchers have developed a new method for producing high-purity boron nitride nanotubes. These hollow cylindrical structures can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Celsius (~1652 Fahrenheit) and are stronger than steel by weight.
Scientists in the lab of Angel Marti have identified a novel approach to create high-purity boron nitride nanotubes, hollow cylindrical structures that can endure temperatures of up to 900 degrees Celsius (~1652 Fahrenheit) while also being stronger than steel by weight.
