Nanotech Windows

A team comprising researchers from University of Texas at Dallas and Australia's CSIRO announced the creation of the world's first transparent nanotube conductor.

Using flexible carbon nanotubes they have developed ultra light transparent tubes which conduct electricity efficiently and are five times stronger than steel.Possible uses are mobile phone batteries woven into garments and car windows which act as antennae,heaters or lights,and quicker-acting artificial muscles.

The research was partly funded by the US Air Force and Dept of Defence.Possible military application is integrating power-storage devices into garments for communication purposes,and rapid commercialisation is foreseen by the researchers.

This article has some descriptions of the process etc.

I'm writing a 6 or 7 page essay on Nanotech for English... I'll have to add this bit to my paper. Maybe when I'm done, if I think I did good enough, I can post my paper here since there isn't hardly anything on nanotech here.

Then you'll love this for your paper:

Also search for Mavroidis - he's the current bio nano guy of the hour - at least NASA thinks so.
Best file is titled 914mavroidis.pdf...
Have fun!

With the whole ultra smooth surfaces on spacecraft...sounds like many abductee's versions of the interior of a UFO...
Of course they would have already known that long ago if they are able to travel so far away and survive different atmospheres...

So this is for very strong windows?

When I first read the title of the thread I thought it meant windows as in the computer program...However this information is kinda cool, it looks like nanotech is starting to become quiet versitile in what we want to do with it

Just wait...just wait...picotech will come around.

Not sure if any of you have heard about this, but Israeli scientists about two years ago made an extremely tiny computer, than ran on DNA and ran/held 3 TRILLION times as fast/info as a desktop computer. It could hold more information than all the computers that exist today comined. It could only do simple math problems at the time, but I can't wait until this gets implemented into real computers.

If it's possible, we may never be able to manipulate individual Atoms and Sub-Atomic particles. It would change all the rules if we were able to do so though.
