Oct 20, 2005 · November 3, 2005 by Brian Wang. Membranes composed of manmade carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes’ nearly friction-free surface, researchers at the University of Kentucky report in the Nov. 3 issue of Nature.
Roadmap to Increase Antimatter Production by 10 Billion Times
Sep 24, 2020 · They would make antimatter snowballs. Step 1: Grow hot anti-H2 molecules. Step 2: Form anti-H2 snowballs. Step 3: Coat snowballs with a thin layer of antilithium. Once the above steps are completed, the antimatter snowball can be stored. This will require a very good vacuum and some sort of levitation mechanism.
