"N.C. A&T spins off new advanced manufacturing firm"
"Imagine a strip of material one inch wide and one-tenth of an inch thick. Now imagine a stack of six cars. Finally, imagine lifting that 30,000-pound stack off the ground with that ribbon of material. And the material doesn’t break.
Aerospace manufacturers, defense contractors and others have only been able to imagine a lightweight composite material with that strength, but a new partnership involving N.C. A&T State University spin-off Advaero Technologies may help make just such a material available in the near future."
This appeared in the triad business journal last week, the printed versions has more news.
