Carbon nanotubes are most effectively applied in sports for thermal and electrical benefits rather than purely mechanical structural enhancements in equipment like tennis rackets.

“certainly i've looked at it again like i was saying with the tennis racket and the base baseball bats as well there's questionable benefits from a mechanical perspective i think there's really strong benefits from a thermal and electrical benefits to incorporate it”

Carbon nanotubes are a promising technology due to their extremely low electrical resistance.

“getting carbon atoms to arrange themselves in these extraordinary tubes where they have very very low electrical resistance”
