Titania Nanotubes for Hydrogen Sensors?
Roland Piquepaille writes "Everybody is talking about carbon nanotubes these days. But what about titania nanotubes? Penn State researchers think they have a great potential for sensing hydrogen . According to this news release, "titania nanotubes are 1500 times better than the next best material for sensing hydrogen and may be one of the first examples of materials properties changing dramatically when crossing the border between real world sizes and nanoscopic dimensions, according to a Penn State materials scientist." And now, the very good news: titania nanotubes are cheap. So they'll be used in industrial quality control in food plants and as weapons against terrorism. My summary contains some more details."
n/t just a failed first post attempt.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Score:-1, Troll
Her legs are like nanotubes.
If only these had been around for the Hindenburg. "WARNING: Our sensors have detected tons of highly flammable Hydrogen gas."
Didn't she beat out Moe for Bartender of the year?
Welcome to the dot-Jingo boom. Now, companies can get huge investment dollars with the following business plan:
1) Collect everyone's underwear
2) Use the underwear to fight terrorism!
3) Profit!
See how much better step 2 sounds than that lame dot-Com "???"
I saw Titania Nanotubes sensing Hyde Rogen on www.newgals.com last week.
Then why the hell does my GF call my penis a "nanotube"?? I don't get it?
They are prosecuting people for downloading "Hotel California."
heheh...comparing the prices of carbon and titanium, seems that carbon is MUCH cheaper.
Heck, I dropped materials containing a considerable amount of carbon in the toilet this morning.
