Stretchability will significantly expand the applications scope of electronics, particularly for
large-area electronic displays, sensors and actuators. Unlike for conventional devices, …

When mixed with imidazolium ion-based room-temperature ionic liquid, pristine single-walled
carbon nanotubes formed gels after being ground. The heavily entangled nanotube …

A striking feature of living systems is their ability to produce motility by amplification of collective
molecular motion from the nanoscale up to macroscopic dimensions. Some of nature's …

An amphiphilic hexa-peri-hexabenzocoronene self-assembles to form a π-electronic, discrete
nanotubular object. The object is characterized by an aspect ratio greater than 1000 and …

A serendipitous finding that ionic liquids gel with carbon nanotubes has opened a new
possibility of ionic liquids as modifiers for carbon nanotubes. Upon being ground into ionic liquids…

By using an ionic liquid of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide,
we uniformly dispersed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) as chemically stable …

Free‐radical polymerization of an imidazolium ion‐based ionic liquid bearing a methacrylate
group, gelling with single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), allows fabrication of a …

Arylboronic esters can be used as versatile reagents in organic synthesis, as represented
by Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling. Here we report a serendipitous finding that simple …

In vivo electronic monitoring systems are promising technology to obtain biosignals with
high spatiotemporal resolution and sensitivity. Here we demonstrate the fabrication of a …

Controlled self-assembly of a trinitrofluorenone-appended gemini-shaped amphiphilic
hexabenzocoronene selectively formed nanotubes or microfibers with different photochemical …
