9 Ways Carbon Nanotubes Just Might Rock the World | Nanotechnology

5. Turn It Up! The next application could make for a noisier world: Chinese researchers have found a way to make flexible, paper-thin loudspeakers out of nanotube sheets. The scientists say the technology could be used to add an auditory dimension to anything from clothing to magazines—and to prove their point, they put one on a waving flag. The nanospeakers don't generate sound like conventional speakers, which make noise by vibrating the surrounding air molecules. http://discovermagazine.com/2009/jul-aug/09-ways-carbon-nanotubes-just-might-rock-world#.UVkye9GI70M
