It was a fine old Halloween yesterday, the rugrats did indeed hold off until
sundown, and as always, were a delight. As always, Hudson was a hit... there
were requests for shots of her in her fire chief's outfit last year, but we had
a camera mishap, but this year we were able to work this out, so with all due
advance "Welcome to my homepage, here are pictures of my dog" embarrassment,
here are
a few shots of Hudson the wonder dog (please don't share the shot revealing
her secret identity with any criminal masterminds).

I "THINK" right now we've been able to make small amounts, but they're expensive and we can't make enough reliably.
We're able to manufacture relatively short strands (a few meters in length I think), but it's certainly not a method that's ready for industrial usage. And it is expensive, as you said.
Once we can manufacture strands much, much longer and much, much cheaper then the sky's the limit. Literally. Sky hook anyone?
They're also being looked at in really small areas -- Intel is hoping to use carbon nanotubes in chip manufacturing to reduce electron leakage and waste heat. I think they're targeting somewhere around 2017. If successful it could be a pretty dramatic improvement for semiconductor manufacturing.
