Why is it important?

Due to its huge abundance as by-product of bio-waste, low price availability and better performance in electronic property as compare to existing material like silicon, it has lot of importance.

Perspectives

In material science, CNT has a lot of application in electronic industry. It may be replacement of existing semiconductor silicon. Discovery of carbon tube is great achievement in electronic industry and is great pleasure for us.
