Thank you very much! But I must ask, do the innovations in nano science extend in directions other than Nano tubes currently? Or are they they main focus of scientists at the moment?
Hi, I want to thank you for the videos you posted, they are very interesting and entertaining. I want to ask a one question. What do you need to be good at? Physics, Chemistry etc. Which are more important? What do you need to study? Sorry for bad english and can't wait for a reply :)
@dzidzelis Hi there! In physics and chemistry you will need to know maths so you better like them! :) but also you will write a lot, so better like writing as well :)
In my opinion, you need to be curious but methodic. Also you probably need to be creative.
Physics and Chemistry (and Maths) are important and used in most science degrees: engineering, pharmacy, environmental science,...
I think C100 is a 'deformed sphere' (see this pdf page 7 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejtc.26/pdf).
But remember! the more carbon atoms in a fullerene, more possibility of rearrangement! so more possible isomers
C60 looks like sphere, C70 looks more like a rugby ball. In the video the onion is made of a c60 inside a c180 inside a C320. There is a good 'library of fullerenes' in the computational chemistry list (CCL) website.
hi there - haeckelites are theoretical structures like nanocarbons (also made from carbon) but instead of the atoms all arranged in hexagons, they include pentagons and heptagons - people have made models of what these materials would look like if they existed but they haven't been observed in experiments. nanowires - all sorts of things! wires which are a few nanometres in diameter, can be made from many different materials, not just carbon...
Comment from "locouk" (sorry locouk, I deleted accidentally!):
It's said in this series of videos, that carbon nanotubes haven't been medically tested, but they are in use in mobile phones and battery's. So what happens if these tubes get in your lungs? This could happen if you were to have a fire, so are they the new asbestos?
So far, nanotubes have not been tested in humas (as far as I know), but many groups are looking at the effects of nanotubes in flies, fish and rabbits. I have read some of the ppaers, and as far as I can tell, the effects depend a lot on the purity of the tubes (method of synthesis), the length, the way they get in the system... You can check my post (postid=106) in the nano2hybrids website.
People related nanotubes with asbestos, but just based on the structure similarities of being "long fibers". The health implications are still not clear
I'm doing a project on carbon nanotubes, and would like to see if they have a future in space related feilds (not just for the space elevator though) plus any other information i can get generally. Any suggestions? once again, thanks these videos are great.
My suggestion for your project will be to explored the NASA website. But my guess is that any project involving carbon nanotubes will be related to materials to made the spacecraft.

I wonder how C-100 looks like?

@LovelyYTRocks Bigger than a C60 :)

Women should be in the kitchen, not making carbon nanotubes capable of revolutionizing technology as we know it.

It's amazing to see so many different shapes can be designed form carbon nanotube and we only have began to discover the potential of some of them.
Millennium 2000 will be called "Carbon age"? Much the same way, we had "stone age", "bronze age".
