Contributions from "The Antagonist"

What's this jargon? Less than 5 years? Be practical, Gordon. Here, I'll give you a relic snippet and you go easy on your new science classes.

Enjoy your nanotubes. You might have heard about these way-back-when. Stronger than steel and too small to see with the naked eye. Originally made of carbon, which you also know accounts for some of the softest and the hardest materials on Earth. 20 nano meters across is pretty petite.

I don't expect to get marks for this, so expect a steady stream of this stuff.

And a link for your viewing pleasure. There's probably better video's out there though.

Great to hear from you, thought that since you went through all that trouble you deserved your own posting. Congrats, you should feel honoured!

Seriously though, Thanks. Found the article and video very interesting. The potential of this technology is incredible, hopefully the powers that be will use it for good.
