Submarines could use new nanotube technology for sonar and stealth

Thursday, September 2, 2010 - 09:35 in Physics & Chemistry

Speakers made from carbon nanotube sheets that are a fraction of the width of a human hair can both generate sound and cancel out noise - properties ideal for submarine sonar to probe the ocean depths and make subs invisible to enemies. That's the topic of a report on these 'nanotube speakers,' which appears in ACS' Nano Letters, a monthly journal...
