Quote: "The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
awarded Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc., Motorola, Inc. and Johnson
Matthey Fuel Cells, Inc. a $3.6 million grant to develop "free
standing" carbon nanotube electrodes for micro-fuel cells in order to
meet the ever-growing demand for more power and longer run times in
portable microelectronics. The Advanced Technology Program award from
NIST supports a 3 year, $7.4 million project to exploit the unique
properties of single wall carbon-nanotubes (SWNT) in order to achieve
siginificant breakthroughs in fuel cell performance, durability and
manufacturability."

Sounds very promising! Especilly when those three giants get down to
business...
