Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene - Research and Applications

Finding affordable ways to make technology available to everyone is a common challenge. Now, NASA has done that with the process that creates "nanotubes."

Earlier this year, NASA licensed its patented technique for manufacturing these high-quality "single-walled carbon nanotubes" to Idaho Space Materials (ISM) in Boise, Idaho. Now the carbon nanotubes based on this creation process are being used by researchers and companies that are working on things that will impact almost every facet of life, such as new materials with ceramics and polymers.
