AUTHOR INTERVIEW: The State & Future of Carbon Nanotubes Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites  NanoScienceWorks.org talks with the Dr. Aravind Agarwal, of Florida International University Mechanical and Materials Engineering Department, and the author of Carbon Nanotubes: Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites. This research volume takes a problem-solving approach exploring the mechanisms through which CNTs are enhancing the properties of different metal-based composites, the authors provide a roadmap to help researchers develop metal matrix carbon nanotube (MM-CNT) composites and choose potential materials for use in emerging areas of technology. A Sample Chapter download is also available to NanoScienceWorks.org members.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded its Faculty Early Career Development Award to Daniel Lewis, assistant professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Dr Lewis will use the projected five-year, $630,000 award to understand how ceramic and metallic materials behave at high temperatures.
Researchers from the U.S. and Australia have shown using a nanoribbon approach to developing topological insulators can expand the horizons for electronic devices. Expanding surface area of these materials can allow them to be more easily turned on and off to control surface state and conduction.
The development of efficient battery systems for future energy supply and mobility is the objective of the newly opened Ulm Helmholtz Institute for Electrochemical Energy Storage in Germany.
