The tubular wonders seem to be a silver bullet for almost everything; they promise to revolutionize everything they touch. So why can't anyone make it work in the real world? Maybe we need fewer people working on potential applications of nanotubes, and more working on how to make them.Ryoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806597118927489139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15306282.post-1155353615130753662006-08-11T20:33:00.000-07:002006-08-11T20:33:00.000-07:00Interesting, even if not breaking news. The nanot...Interesting, even if not breaking news. The nanotube technology sounds expensive though; EEStor claims that their Barium Titanate ultracap will be cheap as well as high performance. ("Claims" might be too strong of a term; it doesn't sound like they say anything officially.) If the EEStor tale pans out, life as we know it will be forever changed. And that would be OK as far as I'm concerned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
