If nanotubes are smaller than photons, how can they trap light inside?

[@stephenking5852]

In the upcoming game, Cyberpunk 2077, carbon nanotubes are used as conductors to match the reaction timing of the brain. As a result, computer chips and can connect directly into the brain, if you’re a cyborg.

You get it inside your body from masks ... with 5G is possibile to made us a cyborg ?

[@drjtyson]

did this man say 100x smaller than a photon? I'm assuming he meant smaller than the shortest wavelength of visible light.

[@Srindal4657]

Food. That was the important take that they brushed so easily over

asap science vibe

Exaccctlieee!!

[@obeytweety]

I love them

Can nanotube tech be used to build a strong, light weight, durable automobile frame replaceing steel or aluminum?

[@eliwaggoner1016]

It’s probably too weak. You would most likely have to sacrifice light absorption in the process, meaning it would be heavier in order for it to support large amounts of weight

Their masculinity is intimidating me

Who cares.
