Inspired by Carbon nanotubes, and their role in today's technology, I recently discovered that because of today's technology we are able to reproduce Carbon nanotubes. Today scientists are making artificial muscle tissue from them. This piece incorporates muscle tension and muscle knots while reiterating the idea of the hexagonal Carbon nanotube that the artificial muscle tissue is derived from.
