In the world of digital fabrication, the line between industrial capability and desktop convenience has always been sharply ...

Carbon nanocoils (CNCs) composed of helical shaped carbon nanofibers have potential applications including mechanical springs and nano-solenoids. There are some reports which measure the spring ...

Tensile tests were performed on nine carbon nanocoils using a focused-ion-beam technique. An individual CNC was picked up using -- an FIB, and a CNC bridge formed between a probe and the spring-table ...
