What applications will carbon nanotubes be capable of, besides being used for a space elevator ribbon? Will they be able to make an impact on other industries as well?

CNT materials have a huge range of potential. CNTs have been found to be excellent for fuel cell hydrides, hydrides that would be significantly lighter than current fuel cells of similiar designs. Automotive manufacturers are researching them as a replacement for steel in a lot of applications since they would make cars lighter and thus more economical to operate. They also have a lot of potential in electronics. I think there's going to be a CNT revolution before we know it.

I would imagine it would make the Gibraltar Bridge easier to build.
