Rice creates first long, strong, flexible, and conductive carbon nanotube thread
2013-01-11 13:19:25| Extremetech
Chemical and nanoengineers at Rice University have become the first team to create long (hundreds of meters), macroscopic, mass-producible carbon nanotube thread. This thread is about the thickness of a human hair, but has the conductivity of metal and the strength of carbon fiber. If you were looking for a material to fuel smart clothing and other digital textiles, this is it.
