How Ancient Steel Contained Carbon Nanotubes

Ancient artisans achieved material properties and structural feats that modern science is only beginning to understand through advanced analysis. Their methods, often more advanced than simple trial and error, vanished with the decline of civilizations and the loss of specialized guild knowledge.

We examine recent archaeological findings and materials science research to explain how these processes worked and why they disappeared from the historical record.
