Nano Electronics Researcher Decodes Radio Signals Using Atom- Sized Component http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2007/10/nano_radio?s howAllComments=true A scientist has unveiled a working radio built from carbon nanotubes that are only a few atoms across, or almost 1,000 times smaller than today's radio technology.
The nanotech device is a demodulator, a simple circuit that decodes radio waves and turns them into audio signals. By hooking the decoder up to two metal wires, University of California at Irvine professor Peter Burke transmitted music via AM radio waves from an iPod to speakers across the room. "People have been working on nanoelectronics for many years, and there have been advances at the device level on switches and wires," said Burke, who reported his findings in the November 14 issue of the American Chemical Society's Nano Letters. "This work takes a step towards showing nanoelectronics in systems." The process centers on working with tiny tubes of carbon only discovered in the 1980s. They are sometimes called buckytubes, after the noted inventor Buckminster Fuller. Nanoelectronic systems are considered crucial to the continued miniaturization of electronic devices. Many companies are interested in the long-term potential of the technology. href="http://www.nano.com";>Nanomix has received over $15 million in venture capital to.. http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
