Future planes, cars may be made of `buckypaper'
- delano 18y agoI'm okay with this as long as past planes and cars stay as metal or fiberglass.
- hugh 18y agoBuckypaper is made from tube-shaped carbon molecules 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. It's really time for a new social contract, in which people who read Wired promise that they know what a nanometer is by now, and in which journalists promise that they'll stop describing things in terms of the width of a human hair. Human hairs, for what it's worth, are between 20 and 200 microns in width.
