I was surfing the web the other day and noticed that Carbon Nanotechnologies has widened its carbon nanotube product line a great deal. You can now buy super purified single walled carbon nanotubes online for $2,000 per gram!

It is interesting to see the different applications grow rapidly. Toshiba is coming out next year with their 1-minute recharge lithium ion battery which I assume is using carbon nanotubes. Toshiba is cagey about where they get their nanotubes, but I would guess that CNI is the source (as far as I know, no other sources manufacture in quantity).

Then you have the FEDs that are being slowly rolled out. Other applications are more speculative, but I'm most interested in the macro products. I want to see nanotube-reinforced concrete!

It's a shame that CNI is private. I would love to see their financials and how fast they are managing to ramp up production.

I still remember that "Carbon Fiber as the new steel" thread you posted a while ago. It is a fascinating prospect.

Who knows how this stuff will be used ultimately? I guess that's part of the fun of this new technology to a fanboy layman. Many applications aren't obviously bullshit. A lot of the other nanotechnology gives me the investor "really flaky" flashing red light vibe.

On their contact page, they list the areas they're marketing. A really interesting list. All huge businesses.

- Conductive polymers
- Solar cells
- Structural composites
- Electronics & displays
- Fuel cell electrodes
- Energy applications

I doubt Toshiba's experimental battery has a full 4Ah or more (necessary for a notebook). Recharging that in one minute would use quite some power, wouldn't they get heat problems quickly?

But in any case, recharging times of 15 minutes would already be nice.

I expect a space elevator to be well off into the future, if only because it would require a huge extent of commoditization of the highest quality carbon nanotubes. Better for the companies to spread out the R&D investment and payout over several decades, as the semiconductor industry has done.

Granted, the second and third seasons were nothing to write home about but the first season wasn't half bad.

I can remember the entire lyrics to the opening song for the Greatest American Hero.

I assume so. It was a top-40 "hit", you know. Had to have something besides

"Believe it or not, I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free.
High and away on a wing and a prayer,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me!"

You're not the only one who remembers. Mostly.

After seeing the lyrics, I remember it all. Oh, the horror!

quote: Look at what's happened to me, I can't believe it myself. Suddenly I'm up on top of the world, It should've been somebody else. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me. It's like a light of a new day-, It came from out of the blue. Breaking me out of the spell I was in, Making all of my wishes come true-. Believe it or not, I'm walking on air. I never thought I could feel so free-. Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just me.

Btw, the song was written by Mike Post who also wrote the theme to Hill Street Blues, Law and Order, The Rockford Files (remember that one?), CHiPs, Magnum PI, The A-Team, and others.
