"NANOTECH: composite nanotubes grown at room temperatuure"
Researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science (Rehovot, Israel) have demonstrated composite nanotubes of gold, silver, palladium and copper that were created at room temperature-a claimed first-in a three-step process. The composite structures support the scientists' claim that their process enables application-specific formulations exhibiting electrical and optical properties tuned for use in sensors, catalysts and chemistry-on-a-chip devices.
