gasgetting CNT films to emit sound is not the same as producing good-quality sound over the whole frequency range of human hearing,
Another way to improve the sound output is to make the surface area of the film bigger.
The CNT films will need probably to be enclosed and immersed in xenon, for example, which would pose serious challenges for making robust"wearable#speakers.

Modern architecture is designed also to just house people not other life forms, and therefore does not inherently promote biodiversity.
We therefore need to think about architecture very differently. We must search for new models for constructing buildings,
I founded the Avatar (Advanced Virtual and Technological Architectural Research) group in 2004 to explore how the rapidly changing technologies would affect architecture.

First they grew a porous molybdenum oxide film onto a molybdenum substrate through room-temperature anodization an electrochemical process with many uses
The film was exposed then to sulfur vapor at 300 degrees Celsius (572 degrees Fahrenheit) for one hour.
The films can also serve as supercapacitors which store energy quickly as static charge and release it in a burst.
The researchers built supercapacitors with the films; in tests they retained 90 percent of their capacity after 10000 charge-discharge cycles

it s as big a leap going from film to semiconductors as it is going from semiconductors to these superconductors.
Thin films of such materials are rife with defects which waste power and greatly lower the films performance in circuitsâ##a problem cell phone companies would like to solve.
Thin film could be the answer. An atomic-resolution electron micrograph reveals its design. It looks like bricks and mortar with very specific spacing between the well-defined interfaces.

The researchers led by Rice graduate student Changsheng Xiang produced thin films of the composite material by solution casting GNRS treated with hexadecane and TPU a block copolymer of polyurethane that combines hard and soft materials.
They tested GNR/TPU films by putting pressurized nitrogen on one side and a vacuum on the other side.
For films with no GNRS the pressure dropped to zero in about 100 seconds as nitrogen escaped into the vacuum chamber.
