Those carob Nanotubes sound absolutely incredible, thanks for the posts. Truly the epitome of what technology can do.

Those carob Nanotubes

I'll stick with real chocolate nanotubes, thanks.

It's too bad that OLED screens never got off the ground.

On the other hand, high-resolution CRT screens are easy to make - it's making an electron gun that can fire at them that's the hard part. (1080p-capable CRTs with a resolution of 2048 x 1356 have been around since the mid 90's.)

However, unlike CRTs (which need an exponentially more complex electron gun with each increase in size), nanotube TVs just need to be twice as big.

I read about these a while ago - I'm impressed they're coming along so fast.
