Few realize, however, that carbon’s immediate neighbors on the periodic chart, boron and nitrogen, can also form perfect nanotubes. Mike Smith of NASA Langley Research Center will describe the discovery of a new method for making BNNTs that was developed at JLab’s FEL. For applications from space elevators to nuclear physics, Smith will explore the possibility that better nanotubes have finally arrived in a Feb. 9 colloquium in the CEBAF Center auditorium at 4 p.m.</font></div></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><br></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">To access the full version of the JLab Weekly Briefs, visit: </font><a href="http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">http://www.jlab.org/news/briefs/index.html</font></a></div><div><br></div></body></html>
