How did Apple do it? How did it go from making computers that made a difference but not much of a dent in the overall market to creating a device (the iPod)...

The accessible compendium of polymers in carbon nanotubes (CNTs)

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs)--extremely thin tubes only a few nanometers in diameter but able to attain lengths thousands of times greater--are prime candidates for use in the development of polymer composite materials. Bringing together thousands of disparate research works, Carbon Nanotube-Polymer Composites: Manufacture, Properties, and Applications covers CNT-polymers from synthesis to potential applications, presenting the basic science and engineering of this dynamic and complex area in an accessible, readable...

Losing it for decades would eliminate most of the planet's population in the first few months.
