Haven't blogged in a while: have been terribly busy with all the wedding plans. But this is a worthwhile plug. My good friend since high school Wowie Ebron, now a post-doctoral student at the University of Texas, has just been published at Nature. Here's the link, then check out "Brief Communications" and look for "Super Tough Carbon Nanotube Fibers". Last I checked, all the chemistry he knew was what went on making this stuff. And this, which he proudly learned to synthesize on the cheap at our school lab.

Way to reprazent, dude.
