Study identifies methods to eliminate impurities from boron nitride nanotubes

Rice University researchers develop a method using phosphoric acid to produce high-purity boron nitride nanotubes by removing boron nitride cages, which mar the quality of the nanotubes. The nanotubes can withstand temperatures up to 900 degrees Celsius and are stronger than steel by weight.
