Material of the future? Interview with Olga Demicheva about the use of carbon nanotubes

Nanotechnology helps control nanoworld processes and use its unique properties. This is a promising field of science that is turning into the basis for the development of new technologies. For example, scientists use carbon nanotubes to modify cells and their properties, apply nanotubes as capsules to deliver medicines, and create components for nanoelectronic and photonic devices. Apart from that, a “pinch” of nanotubes in concrete reduces construction costs and makes this material stronger. Below is our conversation with Head of the Laboratory of Carbon Nanomaterials at Russian New University (RosNOU) Olga Demicheva.
