US Air Force 'Iron man' suits use carbon to store power

The Air Force Research Laboratory is working with engineers at the University of Cincinnati to develop radical new clothing that can charge your cell phone. Researchers are developing a plethora of carbon technology, including'Iron Man' suits that can store power in carbon nanotubes. They say the technology could revolutionise everything from clothing to warplanes. The team say their work could one day lead to'Iron Man' suits that can store power in carbon nanotubes A carbon nanotube is an incredibly small tube-shaped material made of carbon. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter, or about 10,000 times smaller than a human hair.
