Sports equipment maker Easton Sports plans to start producing bicycle components constructed out of carbon nanotubes in 2005, another step forward for the budding nanotechnology industry.
Easton said Wednesday that it will use nanotubes from Zyvex in its components. Earlier this year, Richardson, Texas-based Zyvex linked up with Intel to see if its nanotubes could help dissipate heat inside PCs.
Carbon nanotubes are coils of pure carbon that exhibit a number of unusual properties. They can conduct electricity better than many metals, are light and stronger.
