Commercial applications of (CNTs) soon to be realised

Georgia Tech Research Institute is developing a carbon nanotube-based electrochemical double-layer supercapacitor, a project sponsored by the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command.

Such supercapacitors would provide more power, increased energy density (more charge per gram of weight), and longer life than traditional batteries and capacitors that store electrical energy.
