[edit] References
I have removed the reference to [1], as it's not appropriate to link to a homepage of a website (it frequently changes, making it a poor reference). I've also addded a number of citation needed tags where appropriate. Mike Peel 19:55, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Points removed
Following Wikipedia:Verifiability, I have removed the following points as they are unreferenced. If references for them can be found, then they can be added back to the article.
- 1998
- Nanotube transistor created at Delft and IBM.
- 2003
- As of 2003, nanotubes cost from 20 euro per gram to 1000 euro per gram, depending on purity, composition (single-wall, double-wall, multi-wall) and other characteristics.
- 2005
- October — Scientists at Florida State University begin investigating applications for buckypaper.
- Industry reports indicate nanotube production will increase by 10 to 100 times in the next five years for different types and purity of nanotubes.
- 2006
- Prices halve in one year to €1.67 per gram in quantities of 1 kg as MWNT, >50 nm diameter, 50 micrometers long.
NB: for the last point, see the section above. Mike Peel 10:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
can somebody update the link for reference 11? new link: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/st/past_projects/nanotubes/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.178.84.104 (talk) 19:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
