We've all heard about the phenomenal properties of newfound carbon molecules. I feel I read about them first about 20 years ago, and there's been nothing wonderful out of them yet. The new kid on the block is Buckypaper: Ten times lighter and 500 times stronger than carbon steel sheet blah blah blah... But of course, its only possible to make tiny amounts in the lab. Here is an article: http://www.designnews.com/blog/Engineering_Materials/1869-Buckypaper_May_Soon_Be_Ready_for_Prime_Time.php I'd like to start a brainstorming session on how to manufacture this and other fullerenes. Any ideas?
