Nevertheless the original discovery of non-planar graphite-derived 3D-shaped molecules was a major breakthrough and lead to a nobel prize in chemistry […] Today I found a bit of news on Natures homepage. It looks like carbon nano tubes are not as new as we all might have believed. The material obviously played a role in the manufacture of Damascus blades. Now what are Bayer going to do with Baytubes? Will those patents hold up http://www.nature.com/news/2006/061113/full/061113-11.html |
