In addition, various nanoscale materials such as [[carbon nanofiber]]s (primarily [[carbon nanotube]]s) have become standard in construction. Due to its great durability and strength, carbon nanotubes allows the construction of enormous structures which would be impossible using conventional materials, such as [[space elevator]]s.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 28''</ref> Carbon nanotubes are also used to construct vehicle tires, such as those of the M12 Warthog FAV. Possessing single-unit nanotube skeletons, the tires perform similar to traditional inflatable tires while being virtually unbreakable.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=896 '''Bungie.net''': ''AMG Civilian Hog Review'']</ref> | In addition, various nanoscale materials such as [[carbon nanofiber]]s (primarily [[carbon nanotube]]s) have become standard in construction.

Other types of nano-fibers are utilized in special military training garments, working in conjunction with [[tactical training round]]s. These fibers respond to TTR paint by becoming rigid and immobile, thus preventing a struck body part from moving. | |||
