Texas company demos carbon nanotube TV
New prototype shows that thin, carbon TVs are in sight. And, at 25 inches with CRT-like picture quality, what a sight they'll be.

Motorola is conducting research in a new type of large flat-panel display which they claim has the potential of being cheaper than plasma or LCD (liquid crystal display) screens.
American researchers have built a carbon nanotube knife. This nanoknife will be used to cut and study cells. With this new tool, scientists and biologists will be able to make 3D images of cells and tissues for electron tomography, which requires samples less than 300 nanometers thick. But read more...
Nanotubes could be the answer
Ratbots?
Radiotherapy is widely used to fight cancers. Today, only beta particles are approved by health regulators, such as the U.S. FDA. Beta particles are small and travel fast, but it takes thousands of them to kill a cancer cell. Now, U.S. researchers have found a way to use alpha particles to destroy cancer tumors by encapsulating them inside carbon nanotubes. These alpha particles, which are 4,000 times bigger than beta particles, are much slower but are more efficient. But major issues need to be overcome before future treatments become possible by using them.
