the future world of carbon nanotubes

last summer, tell asked me "what's hot in science?" and i raved about carbon nanotubes and the idea of a space elevator. that is still largely an idea.

now, however, there appears another application, this time in batteries and energy storage. if mass produced, these capacitor-based devices will revolutionize every aspect of home and work lives.
