Nanotechnology - ț̢
The development and use of techniques to study physical phenomena and construct structures in the nanoscale size range or smaller.
Synonyms : Nanotechnologies
Nanotubes - ț̢
Nanometer-sized tubes composed of various substances including carbon (CARBON NANOTUBES), boron nitride, or nickel vanadate.
Nanotubes, Carbon - ț̢
Nanometer-sized tubes composed mainly of CARBON. Such nanotubes are used as probes for high-resolution structural and chemical imaging of biomolecules with ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPY.
Nanotubes, Peptide - ț̢
NANOTUBES formed from cyclic peptides (PEPTIDES, CYCLIC). Alternating D and L linkages create planar rings that self assemble by stacking into nanotubes. They can form pores through CELL MEMBRANE causing damage to cells.
