The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major
impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …

We have reviewed research on the effects of stress on LTP in the hippocampus, amygdala
and prefrontal cortex (PFC) and present new findings which provide insight into how the …

This series of studies investigated the effects of predator exposure on working memory in rats
trained on the radial arm water maze (RAWM). The RAWM is a modified Morris water maze …

Polymer-infiltrated carbon nanotube yarns (CNTYs) were prepared to enhance the mechanical
and electrical properties of CNTYs through physical interactions. This work additionally …

Interest in two-dimensional, sheet-like or flake-like carbon forms has expanded beyond
monolayer graphene to include related materials with significant variations in layer number, …

Highly porous carbon has played an important role in tackling down the energy and
environmental problems due to their attractive features such as high specific surface area (SSA), …

The lithium–sulfur (Li–S) battery is considered as a promising future energy storage device
owing to its high theoretical energy density, low cost of the raw active material (sulfur), and its …

In 1963, the 117 Committee of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Sciences (JSPS)
specified standard procedures for the determination of lattice constants and crystallite sizes of …

This year we enjoyed the 30th anniversary of the discovery of C60: Buckminsterfullerene.
This discovery in 1985 began a unique period in carbon science that saw the rise of carbon …

To allow for the use of graphene in various nanoelectronic applications, the methods for the
large-scale production of graphene with controllable electrical properties need to be …
