MIT News: Spin Doctors – Luis Velásquez‑García and team develop a cost‑effective way to spin nanoscale fibers
Nanofibers — strands of material only a couple hundred nanometers in diameter — have a huge range of possible applications: scaffolds for bioengineered organs, ultrafine air and water filters, and lightweight Kevlar body armor, to name just a few. But so far, the expense of producing them has consigned them to a few high-end, niche…
