In this episode of India GameChanger, I had the privilege of sitting down with Gadhadar Reddy, the CEO of NoPo NanoTechnologies, to explore the fascinating world of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). For years, we thought we knew everything about carbon, but we were wrong. Hidden within this common element is one of the strongest materials on Earth: Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWCNTs). These tiny structures, 100 times stronger than steel, went unnoticed for decades, despite being present in everything from starlight to the ash of burned objects. So why did scientists overlook such a powerful material for so long? The answer lies in its size—so small that only recent advancements in microscopes and technology made their discovery possible. But now that we’ve found them, SWCNTs are set to revolutionize industries across the globe. From space exploration and water purification to medical breakthroughs and quantum computing, SWCNTs have the potential to reshape how we approach the world's most pressing challenges. Their extraordinary strength, thermal properties, and biocompatibility make them a game-changer for everything from building stronger spacecraft to developing cancer treatments. This tiny, once-overlooked material is about to take center stage, transforming technology as we know it.
