Prices will finally go down for a lot of things! Right?
Lighter but stronger aircraft means less fuel. Plus you can make carbon from scratch right?

who is making this? Time to buy stock now! I would imagine most companies will be doing this.

By the way, have you heard of that new stop wet spray that is on youtube? Nothing sticks to it. Water is instantly repelled! I cannot remember the name, but that is amazing as well!

As far as I'm aware no company is openly working on this besides universities and research labs. And I wouldn't get your hopes up for prices to suddenly drop as it's been producable since 2004. 

Also, that nano coating material that repells water- definaly going to buy as much as that as I can when it's finally bought to market.

Oh good you saw it. Made by rustoleum? Is that the name? Total repell or something. Anyways. It is amazing. Did not matter what they threw on this guys shirt, it just slipped right off.

 

@ Gilgamesh

Is this how you thought this thread would go? With everyone saying it is not as great as it was when you totally sold me on it?

Not really lol

The problem obviously is mass production and price, right now it costs about $60 a square inch on a copper foil, they need to get that down to $1 a square inch for most companies to even consider it. But no ones saying next year this is going to be big, were talking 10 - 20 years, that's a long time.

starlite would have been better



Wow, such a miracle material, I thought it was a joke, but it checks out as real. Seems like we'll need to advance in nanotechnology quite a bit before we'll be able to develop the kinds of techniques to manufacture it cheaply, but once we do, it'll be the most revolutionary material since...steel I guess.



Welcome........................ To the future

about that nano-coating spray, is it safe to spray on skin?
imagine spraying it on your .$£%@.. and getting the job done.

Not directly related to nanotechnology, (afaik) but totally awesome are these two quantum mechanic videos for magnetic levitation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyOtIsnG71U
and even weirder showing superfluids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FudzqfpLLs

While I am not bad at understanding the basics behind the nano-tech physics, my mind kinda goes fuzzy over quantum mechanics.... but the superfluid vid is awesome, just imagine if you were holding a bucket that definately had no holes, yet the liquid still escapes by creeping up the sides.
