If all goes well, carbon nanotubes could help pave the way for even smaller and faster chips.

The amazing world of ultra tiny. Nanotubes will have a practical use eventually.

hmmm carbon nano tubes seem to be practical for everything. I remember hearing about how they were going to be used in body armor.
