Nanotubes: Like carbon fiber, but 20 times stronger

Paging Dymag, BST, and Rotobox to the white courtesy phone please......

this stuff is actually pretty amazing thanks for the heads up worth a read

Carbyne is the next prime meta-material.

Graphene is superior to Carbon-nanotubes and Carbyne is superior to Graphene.

Does that come in matte or gloss? :

Is there such a thing as too stiff? (That's what she said!)

I used to work at a company that rented the back half of their building out to another company that made carbon nanotubes for defense stuff.

All I know is that it's an incredibly expensive material right now and the volume you'd need for a set of wheels isn't likely to be affordable at any time in the near future.

Pretty sure they're also carcinogenic.

here's some "carbon matrix composite"

far from nano, but still cool i think

Graphene is very inexpensive / cheap and suitable for next gen 3D printers. Carbyne is a little more expensive although cheaper than carbon fiber.

Graphene is not brittle.

I thought Metal Matrix Composites (mmc) would become much more common, twenty years ago. Great option for 3d printing.
