The Future Of Gaming
February, 2007
As a researcher at MIT I study nano-structures, particularly carbon nano-tubes, which are grown by placing a silicon wafer in a high-temperature furnace containing a carbon gas. Achemical reaction draws up millions of parallel nanotubes in any shape you specify. The hope is that scientists someday will be able to control this reaction to create lightweight cables that will have fantastic strength and electrical conductivity. .As an experiment, I fashioned microscopic blocks of nanotubes in the...
