But they're forgetting that only robots will be in the field in ten years. Yet on the other hand... "To prevent heat buildup, the new composite material will also “breathe” by taking advantage of the unique transport properties of carbon nanotube pores, which offer gas transport rates 100 times faster than any other pore of similar size ." So they will make great thermal underwear. ” It’s estimated that the new uniforms could be deployed in the field in less than 10 years.”

You could make some awesome space suits with this! This kind of material could also be hugely useful in space exploration. You could make some awesome space suits with this!
