Carbon nanotubes, that during last year's symposium were reported to be technology that was still 10 years away, were on the lips of multiple speakers, even those whose work is vastly beyond theoretical. According to Karl Young, CEO, X-Cap who spoke on “10X Supercapacitor Energy Storage Using Carbon Nanotubes,” single-wall nanotubes have a surface area of 1,500 square meters per gram (16,145 square feet), which is three times that of activated carbon (charcoal), the main component in virtually all commercial supercapacitors produced since 2010, and the positive electrode in typical dry cell batteries.

In addition to the larger capacity from the greater surface area, carbon nanotubes are highly conductive netting fast charge and discharge speed. As an example, Young stated that carbon nanotubes are 1,000,000 times more conductive than copper. X-Cap has yet to produce a working prototype.
