Nano-onions are like the ogres of carbon atom arrangements: they have layers. They were also pretty hard to come by until recently when scientists started creating nano-onions from fish scales! https://t.co/yYseEOK4Y0 https://t.co/YnfdSmgVwI

A very unexpected way to produce high quality material of the future. Carbon nano-onions can be even more powerful than carbon nano-tubes. But they were hard to make even in a lab, unit now.

Great example of why centralization sucks: "I don't know, but the best bet is not to centralize thought, and let other people experiment. Just because something seems difficult, doesn't mean that we can't instantly find a better solution" https://t.co/NIdyvqCrr0 via @YouTube

huh, microwave radiation produces graphene nano particles that can act as tiny sensors or drug delivery capsules. https://t.co/QxR1DnnZmm
