Better Nanotubes Have Arrived

Newport News, VA: BNNT, LLC has announced the availability of their new boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs). BNNTs are as strong as their more famous cousin carbon nanotubes, but are superior in many ways. For example, they have a much higher resistance to heat, high voltage, and neutron radiation. “These nanotubes were originally developed to protect astronauts from dangerous space radiation on long duration missions,” said BNNT Chief Scientist Mike Smith, a 20 year NASA veteran, “but we expect they’ll have tremendous commercial impact across many high tech industries like green energy, high performance electronics, exotic structural materials, and biomedicine.”
