Carbon nano tubes are small pipe like materials made from carbon nano particles. They allow a very minute amount of air or liquid to pass through them and scientists have effectively turned this property in an advantage and discovered numerous commercial and scientific applications for daily life.

Injecting of drugs with high side effects is one of the major applications of nano tubes. This material is more than a hundred times stronger than metal and is much durable. This strength is used to apply drugs in limited quantities over areas of the body which are affected with a disease.

Cancer treatment is one such area which has saved a number of lives. It is a cost effective option for the patients because cancer treating drugs drill a hole in the pocket. This method is also time efficient and the recovery time of the patients has been noted to be very less compared to other treatments.

The comfort that we experience while travelling in aeroplanes can be associated with carbon nano technology. The carbon nano tubes are instilled in the seats of the planes and they are used to circulate fresh air. This keeps the air from getting stagnant and smelly. It also eliminates any chances of suffocation.

Electronic signal catching materials are coated with a layer of carbon nano tubes as the layer adds to the durability and quality of the antennas. It is also used to replace many metallic machinery parts as it is void of rust. Wear and tear is exponentially reduced by using carbon nano tubes.

Researchers are now able to buy carbon nanotubes in hassle free methods, thanks to the improvement in the technology.
