We all die. But it's not exactlyNanotubes. Why carbon is the coolest chemical element
12:00
In 2010 Andrey Game and Konstantin Novoselov received the Nobel Prize for creating graphene an atom thick carbon material. Then the graphene was rolled into a tube and everything became even more interesting — the material changed its properties depending on the «bending» of the tube. Why exactly carbon makes it possible to obtain nanotubes, and whether they will become the «panacea» of our century.
How, using the same chemical element, it is possible to obtain materials with different properties, said Candidate of Chemical Sciences, Senior Lecturer at the Center for Photonics and Photonic Technologies Skoltech Dmitry Krasnikov.
We talked about what biophotonics is and whether it is possible to «hear» light in the episode: «Make oxygen a cancer cell killer: what is biophotonics?».
Episode prepared in cooperation with the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology.
