Yes, you read it right.
A team of researchers says it's possible to weave a carbon nanotube fabric at up to 7 meters per second.
This new material would now only be extremly light and transparent, it would also be stronger than steel - making us wonder about the countless applications where it could be put to good use.
I think it won't be that long until we'll have to edit that Wikipedia entry regarding Star Trek's Transparent Aluminum, and change it from fictional substance to a real one.
