The first nanotubes were produced in a controlled environment in 2004, by rolling up sheets of a material called graphene \u2014 a lattice of carbon, one atom thick. With high tensile strength and the ability to conduct electricity, graphene is usually rolled up into nanotubes of a fixed diameter. By rolling graphene into a spiral-like structure, it is possible to obtain tubes of varying diameter. Galv\u00e3o and his colleagues showed in 2006 that nanotube diameter could be controlled through electrical discharges. \u201cThis permits their use as springs in nanomechanical devices, or as gas traps,\u201d Perim explains. In 2009, Perim and Galv\u00e3o performed computer calculations showing the possibility of producing nanotubes of boron nitride, a material with properties similar to those of graphene. New simulations suggest that nanotubes can also be made of carbon nitride. The advantages of this material include its pores of three different sizes, which can be used for storing gas particles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Physicists produce carbon nitride made of nanotube","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[168],"tags":[249,235],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-152693","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technoscience","tag-nanotechnology","tag-physics"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152693"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152693\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152693"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152693"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=152693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
