Very small in fact, even though it’s a very big breakthrough. I was hoping to see something more substantial posted here, but I figured I’d spread the news on this one:

In Friday’s edition of the journal Science, however, scientists from the University of Texas and Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization report the creation of industry-ready sheets of materials made from nanotubes.

All I gotta say is this: nanotech - the real thing, not the buzzwordified “anything that’s kinda small” you usually see in the news - finally starting to show up on some kind of industrially-useful scale.

Well, rock on.

I’ll probably try to post something more substantial about this - the process, its potential effects, my thoughts about the field in general - in the next couple of days; for now, it’s two in the morning and feels like it.
