Unveiling the electron's motion in a carbon nanocoil

(Toyohashi University of Technology) Toyohashi Tech researchers, in cooperation with researchers at University of Yamanashi, National Institute of Technology, Gifu College, and Tokai Carbon Co., Ltd., have?discovered how the electrical resistivity of carbon nanocoils (CNCs) depends on their geometry. The finding, which required development of a new resistivity measuring apparatus, paves the way for CNC-based nanodevices ranging from electromagnetic wave absorbers to nano-solenoids and extra-sens
