This document discusses carbon nanotubes, including an overview, types, and applications. Carbon nanotubes are tubes made of carbon atoms that have a diameter on the nanometer scale and can be single-walled or multi-walled. They have applications in electronics such as conductive composites, sensors, and displays. Carbon nanotubes also have applications in mechanical devices, medicine for drug delivery and cancer therapy, and other uses such as thermal materials, filtration, energy storage, and hydrogen storage. However, carbon nanotubes remain difficult to work with due to their extremely small size and current high production costs.
