The article talks about the wonders of bucky balls and nanotubes - does anyone know what useful stuff has come out of those yet? I think I heard there's some work on nanotubes coming up on transistors in the next gen of chips? Not sure what bucky balls and other fullerenes are being used for? (I remember originally there was talk of lubricants?)
For useful carbon nanotubes, look no further than nanotape. That shit is extremely strong and will happily peel the paint or wallpaper from your walls.

Quip: Every chemical researcher's #1 need is for research funding, no?
