Nano-Technologies Extended to Coax

Nano-coaxial cable could be used as an energy storage device.

With all the research on nanotechnology, perhaps we shouldn't be surprised that one of the latest technologies to involve is coaxial cables on a nano-scale. The main interest in the nano-coaxial cable is as an energy storage device due to the very high capacitance between the inner and outer conductor.

The study found that the capacitance of the nanocable is at least 10 times greater than would be predicted with classical electrostatics. The capacitance of the new nanocable is up to 143 microfarads per centimeter-squared.

For energy storage, Lou envisioned a large scale energy storage device consisting of millions of tiny nanocables side by side in large areas.
