Buckytubes-4
These tiny paradoxes are small enough to migrate through cell walls, conduct electricity as well as copper, conduct heat as well as diamond, and are 100 times stronger than steel at one-sixth the weight. As well, they have fluorescence. That is, they can absorb one wavelength of light, and emit another wavelength. One way this could be useful is in the fiber optics industry, medical industry, and oilfield. As well, different diameters of the buckytubes, absorb and give off different colors of light. A grouping of different sized diameters could be used to diagnose more than one medical condition at a time. OR, a grouping of different sized diameters could be injected into an oil well. When they were “circulated” back out, the color changes could give engineers critical information about the conditions downhole, as well as what’s there. These and other applications have been expanded on ahead.
