Scientists have created the first pure carbon nanotube fibers that combine many of the best features of highly conductive metal wires, strong carbon fibers and pliable textile thread. Researchers have now developed an industrially scalable process for making the threadlike fibers, which outperform commercially available products in a number of ways.
