Nanomaterials Up Close: Nanoengineered electron guns

19 June 2014

In this video we see an electron gun made of many thousands of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes, each more than 1,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Dr Matt Cole explains the technological importance of exploiting emerging nanomaterials to engineer functionally novel X-ray sources.
