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.

wow, I can only wonder what a carbon nanotube laminate would be like.

fascinating, bump for later reading

Super light weight bulletproof, not just vests, but whole body armor. Its for the troops, of course.

Does this mean better condoms?

WOA! Big Big BTTT!

Great stuff.

Thanks for posting it.

The Future is Now BUMP!

Nanotubes ping!

A few years ago I worked on applications for nanotubes. How about lightweight armor for Humvees? In fact, you can have invisible shields in front of your firing position (you know where the firing port is so you can still fire). Absorbs microwaves? Stealth tech. You can make a display with resolution so high you have a hard time telling it from reality (Holodeck). And, yes, a space elevator will now be feasible. I told my NASA friends that nanotubes would be the next big breakthrough. We've had them in the lab for years. We just needed manufacturing tech to make the applications feasible.

Any publicly traded companies making this stuff?

This is definitely on my list of Most Amazing Things I Have Ever Seen (MATIHES)!
