Since there has been a lot of talk about carbon nano-tubes on Vortex-L, I thought this was rather interesting,
http://gtresearchnews.gatech.edu/newsrelease/graphene.htm ======================================================== Nanotubes are simply graphene that has been rolled into a cylindrical shape, de Heer explained. Using narrow ribbons of graphene, we can get all the properties of nanotubes because those properties are due to the graphene and the confinement of the electrons, not the nanotube structures." ======================================================== Normal ice has a structure a bit like crimped graphite and is a proton conductor, I wonder if something similar could be achieved with ice.
