Nanotubes from Vodka & Whisky

seawasp writes "Synthezising nanotubes from vodka and whisky with simple equipment making it much cheaper and more available to future science projects such as the development of smaller electronic components. Read more about it at Daily Yomiuri On-Line. Just a note, I hope for the sake of my life they won't extract nanotubes from beer."

    yeah, I got some Vodka here, now I just need a REAL good magnifying glass and some REAL sharp tweezers, and I can start a Nanotube production lab.

    wonder how much I'd get for each tube?

    Hirose has also synthesized diamonds from alcoholic beverages. The process was described in high school chemistry textbooks.
