The thicket of nanotubes in a VACNT electrode should operate like a cage to keep the silicon in check, says Pascal Boulanger, a physicist who helped found NAWA in 2013.

2013年协助发现NAWA的理学家帕斯卡尔·布朗热称VACNT电极中错综复杂的纳米管就像笼子一样控制着硅。

Each carbon nanotube, or CNT, is 10, 000 times thinner than a human hair — so small that photons, the tiny particles that make up light, can't get inside the tubes.

碳纳米管，即 CNT，都比人类头发的万分之一还要细，它们实在太小，以至于构成光的粒子，也就是光子都无法进入其中。

In 2014, scientists realized that tiny forests of carbon nano tubes can be used to make ultra black materials Unlike pigments, which absorb light, these nanotubes trap light in sort of molecular cages.

2014 年，科学家们意识到碳纳米管的微小束可以用来制造超黑色。吸收光的颜不同，这些纳米管将光捕获在分子笼中。

Now, I notice you're using titanium. Did you give any consideration to carbon nanotubes? They're lighter, cheaper, and have twice the tensile strength.

我注意到你用的是钛金属，你有没有考虑过用碳纳米管，它们更轻更便宜，拉伸强度则是钛的两倍。

As for how to stiffen roads? Gregory says you could mix small amounts of synthetic fibers or carbon nanotubes into paving materials.

至于如何硬化道路？格雷戈里表示，可以将少量的合成纤维或碳纳米管混入铺路中。

Similarly, Vantablack, the least reflective artificial material, traps photons in a forest of carbon nanotubes standing on their ends.

同样，Vantablack这种最不反光的人造将末端碳纳米管丛中的光子困住。

Yet, nestling amid the quarks and transistors and the nucleic acids and nanotubes, there is a question.

然而，就在夸克、半导体、核酸和纳米管等 涌现的同时，出现了一问题。

For the new application, the scientists added links to the circuit made of carbon nanotubes.

而对于这样一款新应用程序，科学家们在碳纳米管制成的电线回路加上了链接。

Okay, we're almost ready to go. Once we bond the wires, we can test the tubes.

好啦，我们差不多可以开始了，一旦我们连上线，我们就能测试纳米管啦。

The filter element he and his team have designed is a mesh of tiny carbon cylinders, known as nanotubes, and silver wires laid on top of a thin strip of cotton cloth.

崔教授及其团队所设计的滤水器元件采用微小的碳圆柱形网状，也就是碳纳米管。薄薄的棉布覆盖着碳纳米管一端，并用银丝固定。

The “Vanta” in Vantablack is an acronym for “vertically aligned carbon nanotube arrays, ” which makes sense, since the material is made up of hollow carbon nanotubes.

纳米碳管黑体中的 Vanta 是垂直排列碳纳米管阵列的首字母缩写，讲道理，这种就是由空心碳纳米管制成的。

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed an electronic ink made of liquid metal and very small tubes of carbon, or carbon nanotubes.

韩国高级科学技术研究所(KAIST)的研究人员已经开发出一种由液态金属和非常小的碳管或碳纳米管制成的电子墨水。

The fuzzy structures in the feathers work like a cage for light, just like those carbon nanotubes.

羽毛中的模糊结构就像光的笼子，就像那些碳纳米管一样。

The blackest carbon nanotube coating, developed by MIT engineers, traps 99.995% of light meaning that only 5 in 100,000 photons escape that forest of light-trapping nanotubes.

由麻省理工学院工程师开发的最黑的碳纳米管涂层捕获了 99.995% 的光，这意味着 100，000 光子中只有 5 逃过了光捕获纳米管束。

So light goes between the tubes, where it gets trapped and turned into heat — in other words, it's absorbed.

当光从纳米管之间穿过，就会被捕捉，并转化成热量，换句话说，就是被吸收了。
