Best Device

I decided to look into Carbon Nanotubes. I know nothing about technology so in talking to a friend, he suggested this topic. This is pretty amazing to me. "With their extraordinary strength and fascinating knack for conducting electricity and heat, nanotubes are finding applications in everything from cancer treatments to hydrogen cars," according to the website, http://discovermagazine.com/2009/jul-aug/09-ways-carbon-nanotubes-just-might-rock-world. The site goes on to talk about 9 new ways this technology could work. From things like x-rays and CT scans to helping to diagnose medical conditions and helping to eradicate tumors, in addition to helping to revolutionize electronics and even the hydrogen car. The site does not claim all things will work, but hopes to get even one or two of these possibilities. "With their extraordinary strength and fascinating knack for conducting electricity and heat, nanotubes are finding applications in everything from cancer treatments to hydrogen cars. These structures of carbon may be tiny—a nanotube's diameter is about 10,000 times smaller than a human hair—but their impact on science and technology has been enormous."

This technology could have amazing impacts on our future.
