Welcome to Nanotube Monitor. Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, which also includes the spherical buckyballs. The ends of a nanotube might be capped with a hemisphere of the buckyball structure. Their name is derived from their size, since the diameter of a nanotube is on the order of a few nanometers (approximately 1/50,000th of the width of a human hair). A nanometer is also one billionth of a meter, which is a thousand millionths – quite small. Modern computer processors have entered this realm and size continues to shrink – giving quicker performance for the processors.

Nanotubes have novel properties that make them potentially useful in many applications, including optics. Research is currently undergoing rapid advances in the use of nanotubes for monitors and other display products. Thank you for visiting our website – Nanotube Monitor – devoted to nanotubes, one of the primary ingredients in much of 21st century products.
