- 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...

- 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...

- New physics as applied to solar tech
- Scientists at Los Alamos Lab in New Mexico have confirmed that it's possible for a single photon to create more than one electron. They have tracked the phenomenon in nanotech semiconductor crystals. This research can enable more efficient solar panels. The research shows a conventional solar cell...
