Summary edit

Description

A SCIENTIST PREPARES THE NANOTUBE OVEN USED IN EXPERIMENTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH JEFFERSON LAB'S FREE ELECTRON LASERS (FELS) AT THE THOMAS JEFFERSON NATIONAL ACCELERATOR FACILITY.

THE FREE ELECTRON LASER HELPS SCIENTISTS FIND OUT HOW AND WHY CARBON NANOTUBES FORM. THEY ARE EXTREMELY STRONG AND VERSATILE CYLINDERS SO TINY THAT MILLIONS COULD FIT ON A TIP OF A PIN. IN BUNCHES, THEY LOOK LIKE BLACK SNOWFLAKES. CNTS CAN BE USED IN MOLECULAR AND QUANTUM COMPUTING AND MICROELECTROMECHANICAL SENSORS (MEMS) OR AS "LAB-ON-A-CHIP". CNTS CAN BE USED IN HIGHLY TECHNICAL COMPUTING AND SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS TO DETECT TOXINS AND NERVE ARGENTS IN TINY AMOUNTS. NANOTUBES MAKE POSSIBLE STRONGER YET LIGHTER STEEL.
