Yes! Revolution is here!
This is the premium stuff, nearly every single advanced manufacturing idea has hinged on these nanotube things, including the space elevator idea.

How long is it going to take, were we can just go to a Electronics store, and buy 8 or 10 feet ( or how much our walls will allow ) of TV Screen matt rolls, and just hang it on our walls ? will the picture be even better than Plasma ? HDTV ?
Why do they have to wait for this technology to mature for the Space Elevators ? and tell me more about those Space Elevators,
