Honda Makes Nanotube Breakthrough 88

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday October 02, 2009 @06:21PM from the better-faster-stronger dept.

SkinnyGuy writes "Carbon nanofibers and nanotubes are the future of computers, cars, energy and more, but it won't happen until someone figures out how to make carbon nanotubes more efficiently and in formations that can deliver enough energy and functionality to offer practical solutions for real-world problems. Honda's latest breakthrough could be the first step. Of course, Intel is working on similar carbon nanotube fabrication technology. Whoever finally delivers a practical solution, it sounds like a win-win for us."

Wake me up when I can head down to the market and buy a widget made with nanotubes.
This is Slashdot ("news for nerds"). The site you seem to be looking for is Consumer Reports [consumerreports.org]. Everything discussed on that site is available for sale now, and they won't bother you with any of that horrible "science stuff".
