  • Carbon Nanotube (CNT) Material

    From Fred Bloggs@21:1/5 to All on Sat Oct 28 07:31:26 2023
    Miracle material looking to replace even copper, it has the same conductivity.

    It must be cost prohibitive, or comes with a big carbon footprint.

    Now these people have 'green'-ed the manufacture\ing process. They're calling it Galvorn, after some dumb fantasy literature.

    To listen to them self-promote themselves, they invented all these applications. Ummmm-no. CNTs are already used in electroceuticals, and when the price comes down will expand into the wearable sensor applications quickly.

    Nanotubes, buckyballs, graphene, memristors, are all VC-cash-worthy
    fads.

    Do people remember the Nantero nanotube nonvolatile RAM? Of course,
    it's now ideal for AI.

    It's being enabled by a lot more advanced technology that make the applications work. It's rare for a single component to revolutionize things on its own.

    The thing about venture capitalists is that nineteen out of every twenty projects that they back doesn't pay off, and the twentieth pays off well enoughto make the game profitable.

    The projects that pay off can pay out very generously. Being snooty about the projects that didn't pay off is easy, but rather misses the point.

    U.S. government has put $20M into Dexmat.

    Solyndra got $500M what are you trying to claim?

    Dexmat received the government grant for development of its manufacturing technology only. Now that they're poised to scale up, as in build a production plant, they have to rely on private capital. CNT is already an established industry:
