A nanoscale black hole, really?

News: Nanotechnology    April 8, 2010
A black hole – one of the most fearsome and powerful objects in the universe – as big as a few atoms, in a lab? Sounds unlikely; but it’s not weird science. Well, perhaps there is a little exaggeration, but researchers at Harvard University (Massachusetts, USA) have created the miniest of black hole like behavior [...]

New: Single molecule sensor array

News: Cell Biology    March 8, 2010
If there is a spectrum that can be detected by sensors, from very small to very big, then the sensor array built by engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT, Cambridge, USA) can stake a claim for the very smallest – a single molecule. The array uses carbon nanotubes, which are rapidly becoming the [...]
