Bucky tubes

Bucky tubes are cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms, resembling a tube or pipe. They are a type of carbon nanotube, named after architect Richard Buckminster Fuller, known for his geodesic dome designs. These tubes have remarkable properties, including high strength, light weight, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. They are used in various applications, including nanotechnology, materials science, and electronics. Their unique structure allows them to excel in reinforcing materials, conducting electricity, and even in drug delivery systems, showcasing their potential in advancing technology and improving everyday products.
