The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers, researchers describe an early prototype for a nanoassembler. (2008-04-29) 'Sticky nanotubes' hold key to future technologies Researchers at Purdue University are the first to precisely measure the forces required to peel tiny nanotubes off of other materials, opening up the possibility of creating standards for nano-manufacturing and harnessing a gecko's ability to walk up walls. (2008-04-29) Graphene used to create world's smallest transistor Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. (2008-04-18) Engineers make first 'active matrix' display using nanowires Engineers have created the first "active matrix" display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits, a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and "heads-up" displays in car windshields. (2008-04-01) Nanotechnology innovation may revolutionize gene detection in a single cell Scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute have developed the world's first gene detection platform made up entirely from self-assembled DNA nanostructures. (2008-01-11) New system would use rotating magnetic field to detect pathogens Researchers at Purdue and Duke universities have developed a technique that uses a magnetic field to selectively separate tiny magnetic particles, representing a highly sensitive method for potentially diagnosing disease by testing samples from patients. (2007-10-30) ASU researchers improve memory devices using nanotech Arizona State University's Center for Applied Nanoionics (CANi) has a new take on old memory, one that promises to boost the performance, capacity and battery life of consumer electronics from digital cameras to laptops. Best of all, it is cheap, made from common materials and compatible with just about anything currently on the market. (2007-10-24) Nanotube forests grown on silicon chips for future computers, electronics Engineers have shown how to grow forests of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes onto the surfaces of computer chips to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where the chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks. (2007-10-02) Quantum Device Traps, Detects and Manipulates the Spin of Single Electrons A novel device, developed by a team led by University at Buffalo engineers, simply and conveniently traps, detects and manipulates the single spin of an electron, overcoming some major obstacles that have prevented progress toward spintronics and spin-based quantum computing. (2007-09-28) Drawing Nanoscale Features the Fast and Easy Way Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new technique for nanolithography that is extremely fast and capable of being used in a range of environments including air (outside a vacuum) and liquids.
