Prized for their high electrical and thermal conductivity, tensile strength, and toughness, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are the building blocks of nanotechnology.

…That's why the major focus of exhibits at the show was on laboratory, R&D, and manufacturing tools for the nanotech industry. From raw materials -- got tubes? -- to precisely engineered atomic force microscopes (AFMs), molecular printers, and ultrasonic liquid processors, and vibration isolation units.
