Carbon Nanotubes the Incredible Material of the Future

Stephen Rock

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms with unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. They are about 100 times stronger than steel, excellent conductors of electricity, and efficient at transferring heat, making them attractive for a wide range of applications, including aerospace, electronics, and thermal management. However, the production and processing of CNTs remain challenging, with current methods often expensive and difficult to control. Despite these challenges, research into CNTs continues to advance, and the potential applications for this incredible material are vast. CNTs offer a range of unique properties that make them one of the most promising materials of the future.
