Reminds me of the time years and years ago where China found some dark strange gooey substance on the dark side of the moon. I hope it’s a revolutionary material (or Spider-Man’s Venom) that China is preparing in secret
BUT AT WHAT COST
Its just trash some alien left there
Ooh this could be huge.
Nanotubes are immensely valuable to many industrial processes though? They’re just in their infancy and limited by the “rudimentary” and relatively slow methods we have available to producing large amounts of them. They’re barely been on the larger market for a little over a decade.
Semiconductor devices were invented in 1947, but it took them nearly 25 years to replace vacuum tubes as the primary transistor in the majority of electronics.
I meant how nanotubes were presented like they were going to change the world. There was even talk of being able to build a space elevator with them. Maybe once there’s a permanent Moon base they will be able to take advantage of the graphene, but as you point out it could be decades into the future.
