Turning Clay Into Nanotech

The people at Natural Nano have found that hallousite clay can yield a natural source of nanotubes.The clay, found in Utah, is a natural nanomaterial with remarkable properties. Now, NaturalNano's team of scientists is developing methods of separating out the nanotubes and processing them for use in some 200 commercial applications, such as additives in polymers and plastics, electronic components, cosmetics, and absorbents.
