More to the point and completely off topic, if the carbon nano tubes can be joined together and reasonable lengths we'll soon have a very cheap
method of getting large loads into space via space elevator.
Imagine a cable 25000 miles long that can lift 15 - 20 tons that weights under a ton
And before y'all take the michael, NASA commissioned a feasibility study into it about 8 years ago

yes all thats needed is a strong enough rope,
to go from the ground to an object in orbit,
re battries, the nano tubes are sprayed on to the paper using a static charge (like powder coating)
and can be cut and stacked like a ream of paper that you buy for your printer,,
even moulded to shape to go inside the car door panels roof etc,
what they are looking at now is how to produce carbon nano tubes by the ton in chemical plants, rather than by the gram in a laboratory,
