Researchers Found the Nanotubes Split Into Useful Nanoribbons

Caption

Molecular simulations and electron microscope images show what happens to a carbon nanotube when the end of it strikes a target directly at about 15,000 miles per hour. Rice University researchers found the nanotubes split into useful nanoribbons.
