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...
Nokia has unveiled "Morph" a concept phone based on using nanotechnology capabilities (e.g., shape, color changing). Many times when people hear about nanotechnology they wonder what difference it could make for them personally. The concept video shows how future mobile devices will allow users...
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...
Coming up in February, I have the opportunity to talk with a senior engineering class at Purdue about the future of technology and its implications. As part of this trip, I will get a chance to see their new nano-technology facility , as well as talking to their Electrical Engineering dept. I thought...
