“From cars to medicine, nano tubes may be miracle material”. “They (Young’s modulus ~1.5 TPa, Tensile strength ~100 GPa) are stronger than steel and as flexible as plastic, conduct energy better than almost any material ever discovered and can be made from unexotic raw materials such as methane gas”
