A researcher who coauthored a direct-spinning process for carbon nanotube fibers. Chemical vapor deposition creates a floating assembly of nanotubes inside a furnace; drawing this material out converts nanoscale growth into a continuous macroscopic fiber. The approach links synthesis and assembly in one operation, addressing the challenge of turning exceptional individual nanotubes into a usable bulk material.[ref]
