In the 2,000 or so years since the Roman Empire employed a naturally
occurring form of cement to build a vast system of concrete aqueducts and other
large edifices, researchers have analyzed the molecular structure of natural
materials and...

Carbon nanotubes - tiny, rolled-up tubes of graphite - promise to add speed
to electronic circuits and strength to materials like carbon composites, used in
airplanes and racecars. A major problem, however, is that the metals used to
grow...

MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to
stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and
other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost.
Moreover,...
