However, a very light yet strong material is essential to making such a technology a reality. The carbon nanotube is a new kind of material that is 100 times stronger than steel, yet four times lighter, with copper-like high electrical conductivity and diamond-like thermal conductivity. However, previous carbon nanotube fibers were not ideal for extensive use, owing to the small contact area with adjacent carbon nanotubes and limited length they possessed.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2022-07-rewriting-history-k-carbon-fiber-carbon.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rewriting the history of K-carbon fiber manufacturing with carbon nanotubes<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A space elevator, a structure connecting the Earth&#8217;s surface to a space station, would allow for the cost-efficient transport of people and materials.
