Zhongyuan Li, Ayush Bhardwaj*, Jinlong He, Wenxin Zhang, Thomas T. Tran, Ying Li, Andrew McClung, Sravya Nuguri*, James J. Watkins*, and Seok-Woo Lee recently published a paper in Nature Communications. In this work, carbon nanopillars were made with nanoimprint lithography utilizing bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) and a carbon precursor. These resulting pillars exhibited unprecedented strength, deformability, and damping capability for a material with its density, partly due to observed hybridization changes of the carbon atoms.
