Abstract

Carbon nanotubes have been famous since their discovery twenty years ago for their remarkable physical properties, from strength a hundred times higher than steel, to electrical current capacity a 1,000 times higher than copper. But so far they have only been produced at most up to centimeter lengths. Here are presented some proposals to combine the nanotubes in such a way to get arbitrarily long lengths while maintaining their extraordinary physical properties.

Maybe you first need to read what the abstract says...

He probably knows already since he wrote it...

Right, I should have known :lol::lol::lol:

I did notice the link - sciepub.com Turns out that scipub.com was already taken

No peer-review, I take it?

It's a bit suspicious that such a paper is being published under the auspices of the Mathematics department and not the Engineering School.

Edit: The name "Robert Clark" is also notably absent from Widener University's mathematics faculty, ditto Widener University School of Engineering. I think its safe to say this is garbage, and approaching actionable. Should one of us be sending Dean Aki an email?

I'm not sure where the need to cyberbully is coming from.

Academic faculty are mostly free to pursue research interests as they see fit. Researchers can have multi-disciplinary interests. It's not really up to people on an an internet forum to tell someone what they should or should not research.

Also, doing a thirty second internet search is really not sufficient to accuse someone of something, IMHO. If you are going to report someone for something, there is no need to make a show of it.

If you are not interested in the paper, then do not read it.

Thanks for that. I'm adjunct faculty, which means part-time. Part-time faculty frequently aren't listed on the Faculty web page.
