Carbon nanotubes can be produced in a new way by twisting ribbon-like graphene

(Nanowerk News) The properties of folded, bent and twisted graphene at nanoscale are difficult to study theoretically and experimentally. In his dissertation, however, Oleg Kit utilized symmetry, a time-worn concept of theoretical physics, to develop an effective method to run computer experiments on nanostructures under complex deformations.
