Yoke Khin Yap (Physics) has studied nanotubes and nanoparticles - discovering the quirks and promises of their quantum mechanical behaviors.

In collaboration with researchers from Purdue University, Washington University and University of Texas at Dallas, the team published their findings in Nature Electronics this week. Boron nitride nanotubes (BNNT), studied by physicists at Michigan Tech, encase tellurium atomic chains like a straw, which could be controllable by light and pressure.
