In this episode we explore carbon nanotubes—rolled graphene strands whose structure dictates whether they conduct like wires or behave like transistors. We'll unpack how their zigzag and armchair patterns control electron flow, why mass production is tricky, and the surprising link to Damascus steel. From electronics to aerospace and medicine, these tiny tubes are reshaping what's possible—and reminding us why basic science matters.
