[00:00:01.071]From computer chips to sunglasses, carbon nano structures built at the atomic level
[00:00:06.066]have the potential to transform our lives.
[00:00:09.071]A team of researchers at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has developed processes that use lasers
[00:00:15.051]to make nano structures built from carbon atoms.
[00:00:18.085]The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has a very strong program in research materials,
[00:00:23.054]and this is one of the areas that people are looking at.
[00:00:28.049]Energy is stored on the surface of so-called "nano onions," layered structures with the potential for
[00:00:34.093]high-density energy storage.
[00:00:36.086]A process for linking carbon nano tubes will lead to smaller, lighter wires for use in electric cars.
[00:00:44.051]Our approach, in a way, is simpler and more efficient, and more cost effective.
[00:00:51.088]Researchers have also developed a simple process to write graphine patterns on surfaces.
[00:00:57.095]That process could lead to improved LCD screens and solar panels.
[00:01:02.083]Nano structure research at UNL promises to improve the future of electronics and other high-tech industries.
