I am using the Carbon Trio as a nice fun way to illustrate a lot of genuine carbon-related concepts for both civil and military uses, since they could make a good story at some point. Don\u2019t be put off by the fictional setting, the actual concepts are intended to be entirely feasible. Real science makes a better foundation for good science fiction. Anyway, this is the article on how to make carbon filaments, self-organised into fur, and hence her fur coat:)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/carbondevices.com\/2013\/07\/01\/carbon-fur-biokleptic-warmth-and-protection\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><a href=\"http:\/\/carbondevices.com\/2013\/07\/01\/carbon-fur-biokleptic-warmth-and-protection\/\">http:\/\/carbondevices.com\/2013\/07\/01\/carbon-fur-biokleptic-warmth-and-protection\/<\/a><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Circa 2013 \ud83d\ude33!
