Abstract
A process for growing carbon nanotubes includes making carbon nanotubes by flowing methane into a tube. The process also includes increasing pressure to a high predefined pressure for the carbon nanotubes and maintaining temperature at a low predefined temperature for the carbon nanotubes. The high pressure and low temperature produce carbon nanotubes within minutes.
