The real capabilities aren't fully realized yet, but for now: coating seeds in it actually protects the seed from many insects and other problems which increase crop delivery, every surface in a hospital can be treated which will sanitize all tools and equipment, significant reduction in oil used in cars as well as an increased life for the engines as the nanotubes can fill divots and wear and tear in gears. There are a thousand other uses, but those are the main three being looked in to.
