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...
