Peptide nanotube ‘forest’ coating could mean self-cleaning windows, more efficient batteries, Alzheimer’s cure, world peace

We are rapidly coming to grips with the idea that there is nothing nanotubes can’t do. They’re boosting solar cell efficiency , hoisting more junk into space , and even providing an exceptionally light meal . Now they’ll even clean your windows — well, not your windows, but your future self’s windows thanks to research at Tel Aviv University, where a team has created a way to grow a so-called forest of nanotubes out of peptides.
