Have any of our wootz specialists read this article?

Seems to come with a few misconceptions - interesting observation though as far as I can tell... :shrug: :rolleyes:

Send me an email if you have difficulties accessing the page.

Hi everybody
The article published in the review 'Nature' about the recent discovery of carbon nanotubes in an ancient damascus sabre has generated a long and very interesting article in the French daily 'Le Monde' on Nov. the 20th, in its scientific section.
For the ones that can read French, here is the link :
