-Today we are proud to announce a research initiative in conjunction with the National Institute of Technology (NIT), aimed at the development and synthesis of carbon nanotubes.

The research project is scheduled for funding of an initial period of seven years with annual government funding of 140,000,000 Royal Francs.

Such research is being conducted to further our ability to construct cheaper and more robust materials for supra-orbital engineering.
