Coating metallic nanoparticles in boron nitride could lead to
new biomaterials for medical research and applications as well
as nanoscale electromagnetic high frequency nanoscale
electromagnetic devices. Building reliable interconnections
between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and external electrical and
mechanical systems is an essential prerequisite to exploring the
potential of CNTs in various domains. The formation of a stable
and low-resistance ohmic contact between CNTs and electrodes
contributes to speeding up the development of applications with
CNTs in nanoelectronic devices with small size, fast speed and
low power dissipation. There is universal consensus among
scientists and researchers that more work is needed on all of
the new carbon nanomaterials that have been developed over the
past years to adequately assess their toxicity and health risks.
A recent review addresses the current status, trends and
perspectives of this issue. Fabrication of nanowires arrays with
different patterns and separations is
