Quantum Capillary Action

ORAL

Abstract

For many years it has been widely accepted that Capillary Action as seen in plants was best calculated using a classical method. Recent experiments with carbon nanotubes seem to suggest that a Quantum Mechanical explanation may now be appropriate. The suggested use of Carbon nanotubes as steering mechanisms for particle accelerators may reveal a better model using Quantum mechanics.
