Thanks! I'll be really looking forward to it! It's an exciting material, new technology that none of us alive today will live long enough to see its full potential.
Arc-discharge gives straighter tubes but does not mean that is what we want necessary. For some applications we may want defected tubes (for example if you want attached other molecules to the tube). But most importantly, by arc-discharge a lot of byproducts are produced and it is difficult to produce large quantities of tubes. CVD produces "wavier" tubes but in higher quantities and like "growing" from a carpet which is more useful for some applications. CVD is easier for mass production.
@RebirthWoWGuild Yes. Each tube is only a few atoms wide and can't be seen without a microscope whereas your pores are easily seen by the unaided eye. You'll have to look up when the TEM was invented because I don't remember.
Hi Allgoo19, I have been very busy this last month, so I haven't got time to finish the last two videos. But keep tuned! I will upload them in January -consider them your late Xmas present ;) Irene

Thank you for this series! its was very informative, and i watched them all.

I WANT THAT TELESCOPE!!!
OMG... its AWESOME!
thanks a lot, it was so helpful

That must be a damn good SEM if it can see CNT.
are they so tiny they would go inside your skins pores? also when was this type of microscope invented? that allowed you to see the tubes
oh gawd its a hot scientist! :D
That was another big company conspiracy...
with arc discharge can you use elcromagnets to capture the nanotubes and draw them away from the other particals?

Where are the rest of the series?
i like the intro song lel
Nicole is cool
haha women doing science? yea right!
damn that microscope might be even cooler than the tubes.
