Supercomputer Simulations Reveal Strongest Carbon Nanotubes

17 September 2001 -- A team of researchers lead by Vincent Crespi, the Downsborough Associate Professor of Physics at Penn State University, has used computer simulations to discover carbon fibers with mechanical strength comparable to that of diamond. In a paper published in today’s Physical Review Letters, Crespi, graduate student Dragan Stojkovic, and recent Ph.D. graduate Peihong Zhang report that they discovered incredibly strong and stiff carbon tubes about 0.4 nanometers in diameter. The so-called nanotubes could theoretically be made from simple starting materials.
