Carbon Nanotubes: The Revolutionary Substance That Will Change the World

Nanotechnology—the use of very small objects—is a growing part of technological development. One key piece of nanotechnology is the carbon nanotube, a tiny tube made up of carbon

What do carbon nanotubes do? The possibilities of what can be made from the tubes are myriad, from body armor to super conductors to artificial muscles.

At Decker Yeadon, a Brooklyn, New York-based architecture firm, they have dissolved carbon nanotubes in water, to create what they call nanoink. The ink can be
