'World's smallest radio' unveiled
The world's tiniest radio is a step closer to reality.
US scientists have unveiled a detector thousands of times smaller than the
diameter of a human hair that can translate radio waves into sound.
According to a University of California team, the study marks the first time
that a nano-sized detector has been demonstrated in a working radio system.
Made of carbon nanotubes a few atoms across, it is almost 1,000 times smaller
than current radio technology.
Peter Burke and Chris Rutherglen incorporated the microscopic detector into a
complete radio system.
