			<![CDATA[ This is not as cool as building <a href="http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=141&page=1#Item_9" >a neural network with bacteria</a> in my opinion, but creating photoactive arsenic-sulfide nanotubes with bacteria is interesting. They want to find (or engineer) a bacteria species that could produce <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmium_sulfide" >cadmium sulfide</a> nanotubes. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ The idea of engineering nanofactories like this is an awesome one - why go to all the bother of assembling molecules when you can just reprogram something that already does it? ]]>

			<![CDATA[ The question I have is what size are the nanotubes this process produces? One of the big limiting factors in carbon nanotubes is length; we can't make them very long or chain the tiny ones together. I'm waiting for that breakthough. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ Joe, the length is a really important issue for applications where tensile strength is important (come on space elevator) but there are many other applications where it's much less important.<br /><br />For example, nanotubes absorb hydrogen well and could be used to store and transport it. Similarly, there are high-efficency solar panels that use nanotubes to absorb light. ]]>

			<![CDATA[ <blockquote >Joe, the length is a really important issue for applications where tensile strength is important (come on space elevator) but there are many other applications where it's much less important.</blockquote>Sure, sure. But say nanotubes, and everyone's all like "where's my damn Space Elevator!?!"<br /><br />Either way, cool that bacteria can make them for us - I know making them is an expensive process no matter what length they are. ]]>
