This month there is an article on the Memristor in IEEE spectrum . Anyone who knows anything about electronics is familiar with the holy trinity of electrical engineering: the resistor , the capacitor , and the inductor . In 1971, Leon Chua of UC Berkeley , predicted that there should be a fourth element...
NewScientist.com has an article and picture of a nanoscale "monorail" that can move along a nanotube track. It has carried a gold nugget a distance of 0.5 micrometers. The new device developed by researchers in Europe is made from two nanotubes nested like the parts of a telescope. The central...
Foresight Nanotech Institute , a leading nanotechnology think tank, and Battelle , a leading global research and development organization, have officially unveiled Productive Nanosystems: A Technology Roadmap . This roadmap is an attempt to map out the R&D pathways across multiple disciplines to...
