How Defects Make Nano-Objects Better

They are extremely light, yet stronger than steel and more resilient than diamond. They are nearly unbeatable as heat and electricity conductors. In some cases, they even become superconductors with no electric resistance: carbon nanotubes are - at a diameter of a few millionths of a millimeter - truly a tiny wonder, and are awakening great hope in all branches of industry from metrology to optoelectronics.
