====== Nanofiber ======
**Nanofiber** is a modern material.

===== An invention with future prospects =====
Nanofiber, like all nanomaterials, is a revolutionary new type of material that has been developed only in recent years and will lead to surprising innovations in many industrial and manufacturing sectors.

The individual fibers are so thin that they are not to be seen even under a microscope It involves filamentous graphite tubes with a diameter of a few nanometers (1 nm = 1 billionth of a meter). Thus they are 200 to 500 times thinner than a human hair.

At the same tissues formed from nanofibers are very robust. Nanofibers could be used in the future as new material for the regeneration of bone and cartilage, but also for producing extremely tear-resistant ropes.

Nano [[carbon]] fibers are considered to be largely indestructible and are superior to any known material, for example steel. The only disadvantage are the still exorbitant production costs.

===== Watches with nanofiber material =====
In the watch sector Nano [[carbon]] fiber was used for the first time by [[Richard Mille]] at his [[2008]] launched [[pocket watch]] model [[Richard Mille RM 020|RM 020]] with Tourbillon here the [[mainplate]] of the [[watch movement]] is of this material.
