minus-squareThis is fine🔥🐶☕🔥link5•8 months ago There have been constant news articles coming out over the past few years claiming the next big thing in supercapacitor and battery technologies. More like decades. Anyone remembers buckyballs and buckytubes? What happened to that?
minus-square@davidgrolink7•8 months agoNanotubes are still a thing, but most of the hype now seems to be around ‘buckysheets’ (graphene)
minus-square@mriguylink12•8 months agoThere’s an old saying: “Graphene is so versatile it can do anything except leave the laboratory”.

minus-square@someacnt_link3•8 months agoI heard that nanotubes are being used in strengthening various materials. But yeah, not world-changing
