Nanoparticle nanofluids, have unique propreties that are not fully understood.

The size and concentrations of the particles creates thermal transfer properties that do not seem to match the theoretical thermal properties of the solids involved, which is what most of the research in the US is focusing on now, understanding WHY these nanofluids have the properties they do.

Russians have had published papers well over a year ago about the similar findings on nanoparticle Paladium solutions, and there are current offerings of carbon solutions of what I believe is a form of ghaphite (Google nanotubes for other interesting info), which may very well include forms of buckyballs or similar structures created from electrical discharge vaporization of carbon or graphite in a vacuum or in a inert gas chamber.
