As it is found in the research,they do exist. Helium contained fullerenes and they do exist in a semi-natural state.However, NASA's chemistry division is doing research into the pseudo-natural fullerenes containing gases .But for real, the creation of fullerenes is really expensive. So more then likely research into development of such a thing, it would probably be shut down just because of its cost/viability for consumer products at the moment. Although there has to be some sort of theoretical research .

I'm sure if we develop a cheap and efficient way of crafting nano-tubules, we'd see the fruits of better material research and more documentation on these theoretical materials would become more prominent.(I know that this doesn't really answer the question but it's all I've found so better to start somewhere)

Why were improvements made to kevlar?

Same reason anything is improved - to make it better. Stronger, lighter, more useful...


Is the greater the difference in air pressure the lighter the wind?

No, the greater the difference in air pressure actually results in stronger winds, not lighter ones. Wind is created by the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and a larger pressure gradient leads to faster air movement. Therefore, stronger winds occur with a greater pressure difference, while a smaller pressure difference would produce lighter winds.


What metal is the lightest titanium aluminum?

Aluminum is actually lighter than titanium


What material is stronger and lighter then aluminum?

Titanium is a material that is both stronger and lighter than aluminum. It has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment. Additionally, titanium is highly resistant to corrosion, further enhancing its appeal in demanding environments. Other materials like carbon fiber also exhibit similar properties, being lightweight and strong, often used in high-performance applications.


Why are winds near the surface typically stronger and more gusty in the afternoon?

In the afternoon, the sun heats the Earth's surface, causing it to warm faster than the atmosphere above. This temperature difference leads to the air near the surface being warmer and lighter, which results in vertical mixing of air masses and stronger winds. Gustiness can occur as a result of this mixing, along with turbulence from obstacles on the ground.
