Nanotubes

Nanotubes are extremely tiny, cylindrical structures made of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal pattern. They are incredibly strong, lightweight, and flexible due to their unique atomic arrangement. Like microscopic straw-like tubes, carbon nanotubes can conduct electricity and heat efficiently, making them valuable in advanced electronics, materials, and medicine. Their remarkable properties stem from their nanoscale size—about 1 to 2 nanometers in diameter—allowing scientists to exploit their strength and conductivity for various innovative applications.
