I didn’t read the article - but that’s what I was thinking - some way to conduct energy. I wonder if it could act as a “stiffening” agent. I have no idea how stiff the carbon nanotubes are - but could see a roll of fabric of it rolled off a truck, fill it with water somehow, and now you have a hard surface (like a runway???) I wonder if because each individual ice particle is so small it wouldn’t break like regular ice?
Carbon nanotubes could be made in a paint-able coating that would revolutionize energy applications.
