Exceptionally high Young's modulus observed for individual carbon nanotubes

TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude of the intrinsic thermal vibrations of isolated carbon nanotubes was measured in the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and it was shown that they have exceptionally high Young's moduli, in the terapascal (TPa) range.

Alternative Polymer Systems for Proton Exchange Membranes (PEMs)

TL;DR: Devising systems that can conduct protons with little or no water is perhaps the greatest challenge for new membrane materials, and new membranes that have significantly reduced methanol permeability and water transport (through diffusion and electro-osmotic drag) are required for automotive applications.
