A researcher who coauthored a direct-spinning process for <carbon nanotube> fibers. <Chemical vapor deposition> creates a floating assembly of nanotubes inside a furnace; drawing this material out converts nanoscale growth into a continuous macroscopic fiber. The approach links synthesis and assembly in one operation, addressing the challenge of turning exceptional individual nanotubes into a usable bulk material.<Direct Spinning of Carbon Nanotube Fibers from Chemical Vapor Deposition Synthesis by Ya-Li Li and others>[Original 2004 report, pp. 276–278: continuous fiber production directly from the synthesis zone]{ref}
