A lightweight material made from carbon nanotubes that is stronger than steel, and conducts almost as well as aluminium, has been unveiled by Nanocomp, a start-up based in New Hampshire, US. Nanocomp representatives said about the new technology, "The trick is that our nanotubes are much longer than usual - millimetres in length rather than micrometres". This will lead to much lighter and stronger textiles as well as a possible ultralight electrical wiring technology.
