New Threadlike Carbon Nanotube Fiber Unveiled 171
Zothecula writes "At about 100 times the strength of steel and a sixth the weight, with impressive electrical conductive properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have promised much since their discovery in 1991. The problem has been translating their impressive nanoscale properties into real-world applications on the macro scale. Researchers have now unveiled a new CNT fiber that conducts heat and electricity like a metal wire, is very strong like carbon fiber, and is flexible like a textile thread."

They gave a line made of CNT to birds to see if they were able to carry a coconut with it.

Now I can't buy any cables till they replace them with this. Damn you, technology.
Don't worry, I'm sure Monster will be selling gold-plated versions of these, at a reasonable price, soon.
