Researchers produce strong, transparent carbon nanotube sheets.
Strength normalized to weight is important for many applications,
especially in space and aerospace, and this property of the nanotube
sheets already exceeds that of the strongest steel sheets and the Mylar
and Kapton sheets used for ultralight air vehicles and proposed for
solar sails for space applications, according to the researchers. The
nanotube sheets can be made so thin that a square kilometer of solar
sail would weigh only 30 kilograms.

In any case, the claim that they are economical is baseless and nonsensical. At least if you are going to spam your blog, make it a good one!

If I had $1 every time I read an article about a new technology that would make solar power cheaper, more efficient, safer and lighter . . . I'd be able to buy a pretty good conventional solar panel, which although does not contain nano- anything, nevertheless does a good job converting solar power to electricity.
