Ice wires?

Probably a perfect way to radiate heat out of the nanotubes.

our world is such an interesting place. it amazes me just how often things amaze really smart people. ( i am not one of them, but i wish i had their intuitiveness to be able to understand the many implications of the results of these discoveries.) i am always in awe of our world/universe/dimension.

“All bets are off when you get really small,” Strano says. “It’s really an unexplored space.”

Scientists have known this in some aspects of nanoscience since the 1980's.

I highly recommend reading K. Eric Drexler's Book, "Engines of Creation." It explores nanotechnology and the potential uses.

Slow fake news day.

You just know this will end up curing erectile dysfunction somehow...not that I'm sporting a nanotube or anything

I thought it went down the tubes.
