A Pollock artwork just sold for $150+ million at @[Christie's](urn:li:organization:163032) .
Meanwhile, our scientists have been looking at similar patterns of carbon nanotubes under TEM microscopes for years without realizing they were sitting on a fortune.
TEM art collection available. Superior nanotube dispersion to Pollock’s. Slightly cheaper than Christie’s. DM us.

What do our sales managers do sometimes?
They create electronic circuits with nanotubes. 😄⚡
Craig Kehres demonstrates how conductive inks containing TUBALL™ graphene nanotubes can be used for circuit printing—creating electrical pathways directly on paper.

[💡R&D] TUBALL SWCNTs support advanced fast-charging silicon battery architecture.
Researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology, Seoul National University, and LG Energy Solution developed a LiF-engineered SiO anode that achieved 1,000 cycles at 2C fast charging and pouch-cell energy density up to 1,125 Wh L⁻¹. The TUBALL network provided efficient electron transport and reinforced electrode integrity under the severe volume changes typical for silicon-based materials.

Are all carbon nanotubes the same? 🤔 Not quite.
They come in different forms—multi-wall, few-wall, and single wall. And that is why not all carbon nanotubes deliver the same performance.
Thanks to their unique one-layer structure, single wall carbon nanotubes are long and highly flexible, with a high aspect ratio and exceptional intrinsic mechanical and electrical properties. They are able to form a widespread, homogeneous, and stable 3D conductive network within materials at ultralow dosages. This makes it possible to create colorful or transparent conductive products with improved performance and durability.

[💡R&D] What if concrete could warn you before it cracks?
Smart concrete powered by single wall carbon nanotubes that turn ordinary fibers into ultrasensitive sensors has been created by researchers from the Institute of Construction Materials at Technische Universität Dresden. The nanotubes build a conductive network that reacts instantly to damage—amplifying signals by up to 100,000% as cracks grow.

The result: concrete that doesn’t just carry loads but actively monitors itself—bringing a new level of safety to bridges, buildings, and infrastructure.

How can you reduce the climate impact of manufacturing conductive materials? 🌍 By replacing traditional conductive fillers with graphene nanotubes. They can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 26%—without compromising performance.
This is possible because, on the one hand, graphene nanotubes work at ultralow dosages, and on the other, OCSiAl uses sustainable technologies for their production, combining cutting-edge nanotechnology with industrial scalability to enable high-performance, lower-carbon materials. ♻️

It was a great pleasure to welcome Guy Altmeisch, Mayor of Differdange, and Tom ULVELING, First Alderman of Differdange, to our OCSiAl facility in Serbia.

The visit marked an important step toward the future: In just a few years, a similar facility will be built in Differdange. It was a valuable opportunity to see firsthand how nanotubes are produced—from synthesis to real industrial applications—and to better understand what this project will bring to the region.

The representatives of the commune spoke highly of the engineering and operational excellence behind the Serbian facility, as well as the uniqueness of the product, placing OCSiAl among the projects Differdange is most proud, alongside ArcelorMittal, Klein Lux, and CERATIZIT.

The Luxembourg plant design is already underway. Before the end of the year, we will host an OCSiAl Day in Differdange to present the project to the local community and answer their questions.
Exciting times ahead!
