It Slices! It Dices! Nanotube Struts Its Stuff
by Jeremy at 5:53 am EDT, Jul 16, 2002

It is stronger than steel and far sharper than a pin. It shoots electrons and draws away heat. It can become the thinnest of wires and, potentially, electronic devices almost as minuscule as molecules.

It is the nanotube, "the strongest material that will ever be made."

The prospect of a strand that is long, strong and thin conjures dreams of epic engineering like spinning a 22,300-mile-long cable out of nanotubes to tether a satellite in orbit around the earth, and then building an elevator that goes from the ground floor literally into outer space.

Make way for the space elevator!
