Carbon Nanotubes
- 15 years ago
Carbon Nanotubes — molecular tubes about 10,000 times thinner than a human hair -- consist of rolled up sheets of carbon hexagons. Discovered in 1991 by Sumio Lijima at NEC, Japan, they have the potential for use as minuscule wires, medical matrix for growth of bone cells, battery storage, Field Emission Displays and much more. These nanotubes are single molecules measuring a few nanometers in diameter and several microns in length.www.Sesres.com
