Nanofibers

Imagine a thread. Easy, right? Now imagine a thread that is 10x stronger than steel, a couple atoms wide, flexible, and is able to repel water. What you’ve just imagined is a nanofiber. Nanofibers are things of the future. Their applications, their look, even the name “nanofiber” has a futuristic ring to it. It’s no wonder nanofibers and nanotechnologies in general are a scientific hot topic. Nanofibers have the potential to be incredibly influential in almost every area of science. In the field of aerospace, nanofibers could be used for ultra-strong, light wires. They act as excellent filters, and could be woven into a military suit to protect our troops from dangerous chemicals. You can store hydrogen inside of graphite nanofibers, producing an excellent fuel cell. For nanofibers, the sky’s the limit.
