Intersting article. I am not a very innovate person, but I am quite optimistic about the ability of humans to innovate problems that seem to have no solution (computer power, electric batteries, etc etc etc)

Related to the above

So what if you could commercialize a material that possesses the conductivity of copper and is stronger than steel and lighter than aluminum? That’s the moonshot vision of DexMat, a Houston-based carbon nanotube startup born at Rice University and built on patents by the late Nobel Prize winner in chemistry Rick Smalley and his collaborator Matteo Pasquali, the startup’s founder and chief science adviser.

DexMat has already benefited from more than $20 million in non-dilutive funding in the form of grants from two U.S. Air Force research agencies, the Department of Energy, NASA, the National Science Foundation and Advanced Functional Fabrics of America. That money has helped develop niche applications that are already generating commercial revenue for the company, such as wiring in plane wings that can help de-ice them electrothermally rather than through the glycol-based chemicals currently used to handle this.

No species has a greater ability to create our own problems, that much is true.
