New Microscope Shows Nano-Fibre Formation

Posted by Hemos on from the from-the-ground-up dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes "An article, with mpeg and avi movies, in Chemical and Engineering News describes how researchers from Danish high-tech firm Haldor Topsoe and the Danish Technical University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nano-research. With the help of a specially designed microscope, researchers can now directly observe carbon nano-fibre formation. This is a prelude to actually controlling the growth of the fibres, which up until now has been very problematic. The new microscope's impact is expected to have tremendous significance for the development of future electronic components, energy extraction, and environmental technology."

    Troll? This should be Insightful, or at least Funny, because it's true. Go to any of the stories about space elevators (and related technology) and you'll see lots of comments that say we should have had a space elevator by now and it's so easy and cheap.

    This guy speaks the truth and I'm adding him to my friends list.

    Maybe SCO can use this microscope to locate their proprietary code in AIX/Dynix.
