This engineer Robert Job took patents out on it and basically it has been shown that "damascus steel" received its wondrous properties because of the fullerene structures within the blades. I personally would love to make objects from a diamondoid-fulleroid/fullerene composite structure. By the way, some have asked why the original Nanosystems doesnt mention fullerenes more, and also if there is going to be a "Nanosystems 2"? Any thoughts on that?
