Bigger Tomatoes with Carbon Nanotubes?

By Vanessa Richins

Carbon nanotubes are usually discussed in the physical sciences.

However, a new study focused on whether carbon nanotubes could be used as a fertilizer for tomato plants.

As A Carbon Nanotube Page explains, “Carbon nanotubes are molecular-scale tubes of graphitic carbon with outstanding properties. They are among the stiffest and strongest fibres known, and have remarkable electronic properties and many other unique characteristics.”

The researchers began by planting Read the rest of this entry »
