Nanotube Applications Grow And Grow
HobbySpacer writes "Carbon nanotubes are starting to transition from interesting laboratory curiosities into interesting technological applications. These apps include non-volatile RAM, flat screen displays, high strength fabrics, and smart skin for structures in aerospace and elsewhere. Perhaps if The Graduate was being made today, the one word for Benjamin Braddock's future would not be "plastics" but "nanotubes"."
The space elevator could do double duty as the worlds longest (and thinnest) supercomputer?
My rights don't need management.
What's next? jewelry? pencils? life?
Je t'aime Stéphanie
fishing rods.. what about fishing rods ?!
what on earth would you do with a carbine rifle that small?
i guess even nanites are set to participate in the arms race.

So hydrocarbons are artificial?

This isn't anywhere near my field, but it seems that if the material were stiff enough, then it wouldn't have to be heavy. By being stiff, the kinetic energy would be widely distributed. Of course, being stiff would defeat the purpose of being a t-shirt, though maybe you could use it to make a bullet-proof condom!
Smart skins would have been nice this morning when some jerk backed into my car and didn't bother to leave a note...
*cough cough* .. I can't speak for all guys, but I'm willing to bet most don't want a condom all that 'stiff' either. That job's supposed to be provided by something else ;)
I want to be made into a carbon nanotube condom.
...is very very tiny. The shopping carts are also small, thought slightly less so.

Mr. Timothy, your trying to seduce me
"He's more machine now than man, twisted and evil."
Frink: Yes, over here, m-hay, m-haven... in episode BF12, you were battling Barbarians while riding a winged apalousa, yet in the very next scene my dear, you're clearly atop a winged arabian! Please do explain it!
Lucy Lawless: Uh, yeah, well whenever you notice something like that.. a wizard did it!
Frink: Yes, alright, yes, in episode AG04..
Lucy Lawless: Wizard!
Frink: Oh for glaven out loud..
It's easy to find devices that are nearly 100% plastic, it's nearly impossible to find something with absolutely no plastic in it whatsoever.
:)
Yeah, people too, especially Hollywood stars.
My journal has hot

Burn it. It's coal.

Please say that "light saber" is one of these things we're just one step away from...
--- 11 meters/second, or 24 miles per hour - the airspeed velocity of an unladen European swallow. Really.
Just one? Move it and buy another.
;-)
The more you push the market the sooner we will see our carbon based kickass screens on the shelfs...so get out and do your duty as a consumer:
create demand!
