Researchers at IBM and the University of Toronto are squeezing light out of molecules.
They are stronger than steel and as flexible as plastic, conduct energy better than almost any material ever discovered and can be made from unexotic raw materials such as methane gas.
Can scientists use the binary of biology, DNA, to grow carbon nanotubes into more efficient circuits? IBM thinks so.
2007 saw millions of innovations shoot from the minds of tech heads into the world of reality -- here are a few ZDNet Australia thought were pretty cool.
The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
Scientists at IBM Research have discovered a new way to get carbon nanotubes to emit light, a breakthrough that might one day lead to advances in fibre-optic technology.
As interest in nanotechnology peaks, scientists are claiming a significant breakthrough with the ability to make atoms move one by one.
Hewlett-Packard researchers will unveil a major breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology, a milestone in the company's goal to build chips based on "molecular grids".
IBM researchers have created a storage device that holds up to a trillion bits of information, or about 25 million textbook pages in a postage stamp-size area.
Nanotechnology is constantly finding itself in the headlines. But are microscopic machines an inevitable part of our future, or just another hype-heavy get-rich-quick ruse?
