    This document presents a 3-part presentation on carbon nanotubes. Part 1 explains that carbon nanotubes were discovered as early as 1991 and are microscopic hollow tubes composed of graphene sheets of carbon atoms that are many times stronger than steel. Part 2 notes that carbon nanotubes have unique electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties that make them lightweight yet very strong. Part 3 suggests that carbon nanotubes could be used to create new devices and materials and lower the costs of production, though their toxicity needs further study.

    Part 1: How we Found them

    NANO: From Greek :Dwarf=

    1 1,000,000,000

    .000000001 10
    -9

    mega = 1,000,000 kilo = 1,000 centi = .01 milli = .001 micro = .000001
