“There are no buckyball fullerene in "buckypaper", just as there is none in "smart paper" - the fullerene molecules are too tiny to be seen as pixels or be colored white on one side and black on another - en masse they are yellow powder, but color is a concept not applicable to a single "buckyball" molecule.”
“Future planes, cars may be made of 'buckypaper' - It's called "buckypaper" and looks a lot like ordinary carbon paper, but don't be fooled by the cute name or flimsy appearance. ...”
“Opening Up Education: The Collective Advancement of Education through Open Technology, Open Content, and Open Knowledge Future planes, cars may be made of 'buckypaper' - It's called "buckypaper" and looks a lot like ordinary carbon paper, but don't be fooled by the cute name or flimsy appearance. ...”

“Scientists say 'buckypaper' -- made from tube-shaped carbon molecules 50,000 times thinner than a human hair -- could revolutionize the way the way everything from airplanes to TVs are made.”
“You mixed up two unrelated things - "smart paper" with image-forming rotating balls in tiny capsules, and "buckypaper" a flat sheet of carbon nanotubes.”
“The only superficial similarity between "smart paper" displays and "buckypaper" material is that they are both flat sheets.”
“A view from an electron microscope shows the multiwalled carbon nanotube "buckypaper" used in the new thermocells.”
“My colleague Eliza Strickland over on 80 Beats has a post about researchers who want to build a new world of out of buckypaper, a superstrong material that has applications ranging from an airplane construction material to lightweight display screens.”
“A back of the envelope calculation shows that at full IM7 strength, this buckypaper would have a tensile strength of about 56,000 kg/cm2.”

Bucky Fuller's projectiles

reesetee Fascinating article! Oct 21, 2008
frindley As a product name it doesn't really inspire confidence! Oct 21, 2008
chained_bear Interesting. I just saw this article at cnn.com. Oct 20, 2008
vanishedone Yahoo: 'The surprise guest was a molecule with 60 carbon atoms shaped like a soccer ball. To Kroto, it also looked like the geodesic domes promoted by Buckminster Fuller, an architect, inventor and futurist. That inspired Kroto to name the new molecule buckminsterfullerene, or buckyballs for short.

'Researchers at Smalley's laboratory then inadvertently found that the tubes would stick together when disbursed in a liquid suspension and filtered through a fine mesh, producing a thin film — buckypaper.' Oct 18, 2008
