Southampton scientist develops strongest, lightest glass nanofibres in the world
News | SETsquared | Thu, 10/01/2013 | 00:00
The University of Southampton’s Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) is pioneering research into developing the strongest silica nanofibres in the world. Globally the quest has been on to find ultrahigh strength composites, leading ORC scientists to investigate light, ultrahigh strength nanowires that are not compromised by defects. Historically, carbon nanotubes were the...
