If I had a dollar for every time some airhead science nut got a chubby over carbon nanotubes, I'd have retired to my own private island where the internet doesn't exist.
And yet, we have almost zero products on the market that actually contain carbon nanotubes.
But have no fear! Any day now they'll be getting us the waterproof textiles, combat jackets, concrete, polyethylene, sports equipment, supercomputers, synthetic muscles, fiber, bridges, flywheels, fire fighting suits, paper, film, motors, light bulbs, magnets, igniters, solar cells, ultracapacitors, displays, transistors, loudspeakers, air filters, containers, hydrogen storage cells, membranes, slick surfaces, and of course space elevator that they promise "are being developed as we speak."
