- Open source nanotech project launched
- Open Source?? For a weaponizable commodity??We reeeally haven't already got enough troubles with "open source" knowledge in the nuke and biochem weapons arenas, we have to open up yet a new playbook for the terrorists?? No, I'm not a techie doomsayer, per se -- just that we don't even know...

- Open source nanotech project launched
- The idea of doing biology through open source has been around for years, but the high cost of research, the fact that patent rights are clear in this area, and the huge pay-offs to corporate inventors have throttled it until now. by Dana Blankenhorn

- Carbon nanotubes: Great for agriculture, but for humans?
- In what can eventually kick up a firestorm similar to the genetically modified food controversy, the emerging field of "nano-agriculture" is making headlines. It involves the use of nano-particles â€" wisps 1/50,000th the width of a human hair â€" in agriculture and could have beneficial affects for crops, say...

- Researchers give brain implants a nanotube coat to boost performance
- Microelectrodes implanted in the brain are increasingly being used to treat neurological disorders, but robust and reliable chronic application of neural electrodes remains a challenge. Scientists at University of Michigan have created brain implants tested in rats that can more clearly record signals from surrounding neurons. by Chris Jablonski

- 'NanoPen' to write a new chapter in nanotech manufacturing
- Tiny Lasers An Improvement?This made me think of the article from NPR about the breakthrough kind of for tiny lasers:"They made a plasmon laser out of a bead of gold that's so small you can't even see it under a regular microscope ? it's just 44 nanometers across. "For comparison,...

- 'NanoPen' to write a new chapter in nanotech manufacturing
- Among the top challenges facing the commercialization of nanotechnology, is to produce a high volume of nano-scale components cheaply and efficiently. To help meet the challenge, UC Berkeley researchers are reporting the development of a "NanoPen" that could provide a quick, convenient way of laying down patterns of nanoparticles...

- Scientists envision inflatable alternative to tethered space elevator
- An inflatable free standing tower could one day carry equipment and tourists 20 kilometers above Earth, and it could be completed much sooner than a cable-based space elevator, say researchers at York University in Toronto, Canada. They envision a giant tower assembled with a series of modules made up...

- Billion-year ultra-dense memory chip developed
- There's always been an inverse relationship between density and durability when it comes to data storage. Today's silicon memory chips contain a lot of density, but with a lifespan of just a few decades, they lack durability. Yet primitive forms of storage such as information carved in stone are highly...

- Researchers develop printable rubber-like OLED displays
- Researchers at the University of Tokyo have given new meaning to the term flexibility in the context of displays. They've developed of a stretchable display connected by organic light-emitting diodes OLEDs and organic transistors with a new highly-elastic conductor.

- Here comes some R and D: nanotech in carville
- Some brave Angelenos will be working on nano-tech for combatting global warming. Yes, right there amid freeways and palpable smog and all the gas-burning cars in Los Angeles, some engineers will be using federal money to find nano-ways to more efficiently capture solar energy. Also, they're looking for...

- Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
- Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they'll help overcome many of the limitations of today's microelectronics...

- Nanorobot for Brain Aneurysm
- The idea of nanorobots floating throughout our arteries to fight diseases and deliver drugs is migrating from science fiction to medical fact, at least in virtual 3D simulations. Nanorobotics pioneer Adriano Cavalcanti and his colleagues report progress with their nanorobot control design NCD software which helps them simulate the behavior...
