I can’t wait for them to start creating human livers out of nanotubes using 3D printing.

The big thing using carbon nanotubes is the development of high-density
ultracapacitor batteries that could soon store as much energy on a per-pound basis as lithium-ion batteries but with a very small fraction of the charging time. Imagine charging an electric car battery pack in maybe two minutes at most!

Interesting. Nanotubes also look like they have a future in computing, supercapacitors, batteries, bioengineering, structural material.....
I suspect they will be determined to be a carcinogen and banned.

"I suspect they will be determined to be a carcinogen and banned." I suspect that it is only "loose" nanotubes that are carcinogenic. To be useful in ultracapacitors, they will undoubtedly be secured (actually grown) on sheet electrodes.
IIRC, even asbestos can still be used for some applications. Stringent safety measures during manufacture (or disposal) of anything that uses them, but once secured and rendered immobile in a matrix, are "OK".

Imagine charging an electric car battery pack in maybe two minutes at most Fast charging batteries would be great but now sure how practical it would be for large battery packs - how would the energy get to the battery?

Imagine charging an electric car battery pack in maybe two minutes at most! Now imagine getting into a collision which results in all that energy being released in a millisecond...

Yes. Transmutations have been a part of LENR investigation since 1989.

***That rings a bell. I think I remember hearing about CNTs causing cancer. The thing is, they’re so small that they disrupt cell membranes very easily.

Wiki defines a “Seldon Crisis” as a [social <-> political] situation that, to be successfully surmounted, would eventually leave only one possible, inevitable, course of action.
Is not Peak Oil a Seldon Crisis which only leads to LENR?

Draging a ground strap like bumper cars. Remember when 18 wheelers had a chain looped through a ring that grounded the truck?
