Researchers explore interplay between high-affinity DNA and carbon nanotubes

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have emerged as promising candidates for applications in biotechnology and nanoelectronics due to their exceptional physical and chemical properties. Despite their potential, challenges like insolubility and toxicity have hindered their widespread use. Prior studies have investigated diverse strategies to functionalize and modify the surfaces of SWCNTs to overcome these challenges.
