Unzipping Nanotubes Makes Superfast Electronics
Al writes "Two research groups have found a way to unzip carbon nanotubes to create nanoribbons of graphene — a material that has shown great promise for use as nanoscale transistors, but which has proven difficult to manufacture previously. A team led by James Tour, a professor of chemistry and computer science at Rice University, and another led by Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford University, both figured out ways to slice carbon nanotubes open to create the nanoribbons. The Stanford team was funded by Intel, and the Rice group is in talks with several companies about commercializing their approach."
Hey, that's what an ex-girlfriend of mine called it: her nano-tube. Bitch. Oh, carbon nano-tubes.....gotta hit Cancel.
Nanoribboned for her pleasure.
She did say you were pretty quick.

[mage] what should I give sister for unzipping?
[Kevyn] Um. Ten bucks?
[mage] no I mean like, WinZip?

Good. Cheap. Fast. Pick Two.
...he's just making up new words on the fly.
With all the unzipping going on, making up words on the fly is probably OK in this instance.
Sounds like just what I need to tie up my nanopresent after wrapping it in nanopaper, covered with nanowhimisicaldecorations!
Now in nanothickness for YOUR pleasure too!!
And available in nanosize for your anatomy!
Buying Californium on your Visa card and having the feds turn up, priceless!
