"Carbon nanotubes—tiny cylinders made of carbon atoms—conduct heat hundreds of times better than today's detector coating materials. Nanotubes are also resistant to laser damage and, because of their texture and crystal properties, absorb light efficiently. Scientists hope that the nanotubes' resistance to aging and hardening will allow them to extend the range of NIST laser power standards to ultraviolet wavelengths."
