I'm reading some good things at this moment on Carbon Nanotube. A couple of comments in this article says, "electrical conductivity is sufficient for good EMI shielding and for replacing copper wiring for some application" and "the material can be further doped to increase electrical conductivity to enable conductor and EMI shielding application that require high conductivity". it'll be nice having traces handle extreme currents and also have the ESC run cooler with a awesome heat sink out of the same stuff. This thing has about seven time better thermal conductivity than copper on a per-weight basis. I've seen places making the nanotube, but in very small scale and this one company is making rolls of this stuff.

Edit: Also, how would one mate the MOSFET and other components to the nanotube traces? (Did some more research and found the answer, awesome stuff).
