That's the word I was looking for. In Robert Forward's "Saturn Rukh" he goes into very detailed explanation of using carbon fiber nanotubes. While the book is science fiction, Forward was a very respected physicist who knew his stuff. The company he founded (Tethers unlimited) still exists today and does work on both space and ground based projects.
