[[Human | [[Human]]ity, principally the [[United Nations Space Command]], utilizes nanotechnology for several purposes. [[Nanoreagent hydrocarbot]]s are a suspension of nanomachines that convert carbon-heavy matter into usable fuel for the UNSC's internal combustion power plants, including the [[hydrogen-injected internal combustion engine]]s used by the [[M12 Force Application Vehicle]] and the [[M274 Ultra-Light All-Terrain Vehicle]].<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/TopStory.aspx?link=mongi '''Bungie.net''': ''Mongoose'']</ref> | ||
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:// | 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. | Other types of nano-fibers are utilized in special military training garments, working in conjunction with [[tactical training round]]s.
