Architectural BuckypaperNanotechnology is generally pursued by scientists and those involved with high-tech gadgetry, weapons, and medical devices, but that doesn't mean it can't be applied in other fields. Recently NYC-based Decker Yeadon became the first architecture firm to synthesize a thin sheet of carbon nanotube buckypaper, and they plan on utilizing the super-strong and lightweight material in future building projects. The miraculous material is <b>10 times lighter</b> and <b>500 times stronger</b> than steel, it can conduct both heat and electricity, and it can filter particles.1
