Nanotechnology: Engineering with Atoms and Molecules

Nanotechnology research focuses on finding ways to use the unusual electrical and optical properties of tubes and wires only dozens of atoms wide, and is also aimed at using individual molecules as device components.

The Nanotechnology bundle includes a brief tour of recent developments that makes connections among key issues. It also includes the text of 24 in-depth TRN stories about key nanotechnology research projects, and 10 related images.

The bundle is organized into three major categories: nanotubes and nanowires, molecular technology and nano materials. Story subjects range from nanotube thermometers to DNA motors to molecular memory.

Technology Research News is an independent publisher and news service dedicated to covering technology research developments in university, corporate and government labs.
