Made of carbon nanotubes that have been disbursed in a liquid
suspension and filtered through fine mesh to make a thin film,
scientists think buckypaper will lead to consumer applications possibly
within a year.
Buckypaper is excellent at conducting electricity and dispersing
heat, and could be used in electromagnetic shielding and lightning
protection on airplanes, for fuel cells, batteries and a more efficient
ways to disperse heat in laptops.
In the near future, the Buckypaper’s
best potential could be in building light-weight, energy-efficient
airplanes and cars.

This new innovation is very interesting, a paper that is strong as steel which can be used to make transportation?
Hope the scientist who are working on this innovation will be successful in mass producing the Buckypaper.
Buckypaper is a thin sheet made from an aggregate of carbon nanotubes.[1] The nanotubes are approximately 50,000 times thinner than a human hair.
Originally, it was fabricated as a way to handle carbon nanotubes, but it is also being studied and developed into applications by several research groups, showing promise as an armor in vehicle armor and personal armor and next-generation electronics and displays.
