Lu Zhou was standing next to an optical microscope. He gently turned the focusing helix dial and observed the carbon nanotubes on the microscope slide.
A couple of minutes later, Lu Zhou looked up at Yang Xu and asked, "There's no way to make it longer?"
Yang Xu shook his head.
"That's as long as we can do."
By looking at the sample through the microscope, Lu Zhou could see that the shortest sample was only 5-10μm long, while the longest was 2mm long.
Unfortunately, when comparing the 2mm carbon nanotubes to the silky cloth material, the carbon nanotube was rough like stubble…
Lu Zhou rubbed his chin and asked, "What about the directional growth technology used in the SG-1 superconducting material? Have you tried that?"
