Nanotech wonderBuckypaperis 10 time lighter and 500 times strong than blade . And while donnish research research lab have successfully synthesized the stuff for twelvemonth , the first architectural house has just made Buckypaper on their own .
NY ’s Decker Yeardon just revealed their first thin sheet of the stuff — a “ theme ” made up of carbon carbon nanotube that , apart from being absurdly strong and lightsome , can serve function like filtering and heat dispersion . Their first piece measures just 90 millimetre in diameter , but that ’s not stopping Decker Yeardon from think the possibilities :
We ’re bright that this new Buckypaper can be used as a thin , flexible electrode surface in an artificial muscle that we ’re develop for architecture .
But as much as the prospect of a bend Burj Khalifa excites us all , it ’s in all likelihood not a spoiled prison term to remember , we have n’t exactly do n’t a net ton of research as to theeffects of of these materialson our own bodies . Further study is necessary before we dare fill our cities with it . [ Decker YeardonviaNanoarchitectureviaInhabitat ]
