University of Pittsburgh researchers have synthesized a molecule that
forms the first "nanocarpet," whereby the nanotubes organize themselves
into an expanse of upright clusters that looks like the fibers of a
shag rug.
Moreover, unlike other nanotube structures, these tubes can sense their environment, change color and can be trained to kill bacteria. The research aims at developing a paint that in the event of biological or chemical agents being deployed would change color and simultaneously destroy the deadly substances.
