Nanotechnology never ceases to amaze me. The nano particles have made gadgets and devices so tiny that we could not even have dreamed about such advanced technologies. Researchers have found out how water behaves inside carbon nanotubes and this discovery could help in the realization of ultra small devices and also help in medicine and others. In fact the discovery could have far reaching consequences. The so-called nano-confined water changes its structure in a limited space as that of a hollow carbon nanotube.
Normally Graphene repels water, but researchers found out that in such tiny spaces, water changes its properties and in fact Graphene does not repel water because the size becomes so small. Temperature also played a major role in this. When the temperature was reduced from 22 degrees to 8 degrees, the carbon nanotubes became more water friendly.
