Got this from a friend; I'd like to know what some of you in these disciplines think about these possibilities... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghhgUmGBjX8&feature=share
There is an extraordinary amount of hype in this video... Carbon nanotubes have been known to do all these things for the past 20-30 years. It's just not feasible to produce the massive amounts of nanotubes required for the kinds of purposes shown in the video. If someone can make nanotubes about 100 times cheaper than they are now, then you might imagine these ideas coming into real everyday life.
