1. A conductive adapter comprising:

  • a conducting member made from a plurality of intermingled and non-aligned nanotubes arranged on top of one another to form a continuous structure and being able to support itself structurally, independent of the assistance of a substrate or binder, and having opposing ends;

    a flexible body defined by the conducting member and able to directly withstand fatigue damage caused by movement that can result in such fatigue damage when imparted on the flexible body; and

    a flexible glassy carbon connector portion positioned on one of the opposing ends of the conducting member in such a way as to be in direct contact with the conducting member to maximize a number of conductive nanostructures within the conducting member in contact with the connector portion, so as to enable efficient conduction between a nanoscale environment and a traditional electrical and/or thermal circuit system.
