cientists at Rice University have discovered that the strong force field emitted by a Tesla coil causes carbon nanotubes to self-assemble into long wires, a phenomenon they call “Teslaphoresis.” - See more at: http://news.rice.edu/2016/04/14/nan...roduces-teslaphoresis-2/#sthash.OnZGRRrv.dpuf

The teammates look forward to seeing where their research leads. “These nanotube wires grow and act like nerves, and controlled assembly of nanomaterials from the bottom up may be used as a template for applications in regenerative medicine,” Bornhoeft said. - See more at: http://news.rice.edu/2016/04/14/nan...roduces-teslaphoresis-2/#sthash.OnZGRRrv.dpuf

Cool but bit creepy as this looks so organic in a way

It kinda looks like proteins binding when being heated, like when you cook an egg for example. (wrong color though)

I'm curious to see how strong the bond is and if it has elasticity. We see in the video around 2:07 that the bond disappears once the field is disabled. How does that affect any usage in medicine for example? Would you have to keep a current in your body for your newly artificially grown carbon muscle tissue to maintain its integrity?
