In recent studies there have been huge discoveries in the use of Carbon atoms and their impact on micro technologies. The carbon atom historically has been known for its very durable structure in diamonds and the "Buckyball", and its rather "flakey" version, graphite, used in our pencils. Additionally, carbon plays important roles in life sciences and is a key element in life and chemistry, and more recently, engineering.

Nanotubing, created from carbon grids, has been the most recent in discoveries with regards to the Carbon atom. It was discovered in 1991 by Dr. Sumio Iijima of NEC Fundamental Research Laboratories in Tsukuba, Japan. Discovered by their unique production from furnaces, these nanotubes are elongated molecules that are composed of carbon atoms. As they form, they create items necessary for the conduction of electricity. They are very strong, infinitesimally small, only a 50,000th the width of a human hair, and...
