Flexible future for carbon nanotubes
TGDaily: Researchers at Jackson State University have developed an 89% transparent, flexible substrate material which is coated with conductive carbon nanotubes. These are unique in that they remain excellent conductors of electricity even when the material is significantly flexed or bent.
The researchers have used these electrodes to create a flexible light-emitting device. Both the anode and cathode are transparent which, even when repeatedly bent, twisted, rolled or folded completely over, continue to conduct electricity without losing any notable properties.

This technology has been around since 2002. These guys at Jackson have just reproduced countless experiments from researchers at the University of Florida, UCLA, EIKOS, and others. It's sad that this hype is perpetuating the internet.
