'Pressure-welding' nanotubes creates ultrastrong material

Researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), Technological Institute for Superhard and Novel Carbon Materials (TISNCM), Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), and the National University of Science and Technology MISiS have shown that an ultra-+strong material can be produced by "fusing" multiwall carbon nanotubes together. The research findings have been published in Applied Physics Letters.
