Dr. Carbon Nanotube
I've reported so much news about the wonder of Carbon Nanotubes I'm starting to wonder if I'm repeating myself. But this just announced: Carbon Nanotubes can be used to make an ultra sensitive bio-sensor that could detect proteins quicker than almost any laboratory test currently developed. topic-carbon nanotubes, topic-science, science!, content-newsCarbon Nanotubes: Now with more energy
