Here's something that might work for future computer applications:

Personally, I want a boat made out of this stuff. Or some water skis.

Didn't work for me either last night. Works fine now, though.

Very cool tech.

 

[bignick]

got it now...

yes, nanotechnology has a lot of promising uses in the future...although when we're dealing with something like this i think we need to be careful...i think there was a possible problem with one type of nano structure that destroyed cells....

Apparently buckyballs can cause brain damage in fish:

This causes justifiable concern...yet given the durability of carbon structures, and its potential in a number of fields, I don't think we'll see a slowing of research. We'll have to be careful, though.
