MIT: NanoRadio One Of The Top Ten Emerging Technologies

Posted on March 13, 2008 by Patrick T. Lewis

MIT's Technology Review just published its list of Top Ten Emerging Technologies for 2008.  One of the top ten items is NanoRadio.  TR's description of NanoRadio begins with: 

If you own a sleek iPod Nano, you've got nothing on Alex Zettl. The physicist at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues have come up with a nanoscale radio, in which the key circuitry consists of a single carbon nanotube.

Absolutely fascinating -- and especially so since this technology could be considered one of the first true "nano-machines."  As an aside, nanotechnology-related technologies have made the "TR10" for each of the past three years -- 2007 (Nanohealing), 2006 (Nanomedicine and Nanobiomechanics), and 2005 (quantum wires).
