* Carbon Nanotechnologies, Inc. (CNI, 16200 Park Row, Houston, TX 77084; Tel: 713/529-7264) and Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) have signed an engineering services agreement to commercialize single- wall carbon nanotubes, a technology called buckytubes, named after Buckminster Fuller's geodesic domes. The technology can be used to create electrodes for batteries and fuel cells. Ken Smith, a company founder, says the nanotubes can be used as catalyst supports as well. Smith says Carbon Nanotechnologies is interested in working with fuel cell companies to develop buckytubes for fuel cel
