He was expelled from Harvard twice: 1. first for spending all his money partying with a Vaudeville troupe, 2. for his "irresponsibility and lack of interest". what he, as an individual, could do to improve humanity's condition, which large organizations, governments, and private enterprises inherently could not do.

  30. Electrical For a given (n,m) nanotube, if n = m, the nanotube is metallic; if n − m is a multiple of 3, then the nanotube is semiconducting with a very small band gap, otherwise the nanotube is a moderate semiconductor. Thus all armchair (n=m) nanotubes are metallic, and nanotubes (5,0), (6,4), (9,1), etc. are semiconducting. In theory, metallic nanotubes can carry an electrical current density of 4×109 A/cm2 which is more than 1,000 times greater than metals such as copper[23].

  31. While the fantasy of a space elevator has been around for about 100 years, the idea became slightly more realistic by the 1991 discovery of "carbon nanotubes,"

The Space Engineering and Science Institute presents The 2009 Space Elevator Conference Pioneer the next frontier this summer with a four-day conference on the Space Elevator in Redmond, Washington at the Microsoft Conference Center.
