Who discovered buckyballs and nanotubes?
your grandma
Are nanotubes more similar to diamonds or graphite?
According to Wikipedia: "The bulk modulus of superhard phase nanotubes is 462 to 546 GPa, even higher than that of diamond (420 GPa for single diamond crystal)." Note that diamonds are natural minerals; nanotubes are fabricated, making diamond the hardest known natural substance. You can read more about nanotubes, below.
How are nanotubes being used in water purification?
Since the nanotubes are very small, only some molecules can fit through them. Water is able to pass through, but the impurities in water like bacteria, metals, and viruses will not fit through. Therefore, the water will be purified through nanotubes.
Carbon nanotubes are five times stronger than steel and better electrical conductors than copper what is a possuble use for carbon nanotubes?
They are put in paint to strengthen vehicles or sometimes used in nanometer sized electronics.
Why carbon nanotubes should purified?
Because nobody wants an unpure carbon nanotube
What is the structure of nanotubes?
the structure of nanotubes are carbon atoms joint together covalently to form a long tube.
What are the tinniest tubes called?
nanotubes
Who discovered buckyballs and nanotubes?
your grandma
Which are the physical properties of carbon nanotubes?
Strength:Carbon nanotubes are the strongest and stiffest materials yet discovered in terms of tensile strength and elastic modulus respectively.Hardness:Standard single-walled carbon nanotubes can withstand a pressure up to 25 GPa without deformation.

Who invented nanotube?
Although there are numerous instances of people observing carbon nanotubes, most literature credits Sumio Iijima as the discoverer of carbon nanotubes.

Which form of carbon is ductile?
graphite carbon nanotubes
How are nanotubes stronger than steel?
It depends on the structure.
Which metals is used in paper batteries?
carbon nanotubes
Can carbon nanotubes be used to make bullet proof armor?
This technology is being explored as an option for body armor, but there are no body armor products using carbon nanotubes as yet.
What element has a macromolecular structure similar to carbon?
Carbon nanotubes
