Researchers at Rice and Swansea universities have developed a technique to use inexpensive newsprint harvested from newspapers to grow carbon nanotubes for industry. More specifically, the scientists have shown that a particular kind of newsprint can be treated to serve as a three-dimensional substrate for single-walled carbon nanotube growth.
