	Invisibility is now one step closer
...Using the nanotechnology scientists were able to make a significant step towards inventing an "optical cloaking", which represents a device able to make objects invisible. The device guides light around anything that is placed withing the so-called "cloak". The engineers at Purdue University have followed mathematical guidelines that were devised last year by the UK physicists to create a theoretical design, which in i...

	The Nobel Prize 2007 Has Been Given Away
...arious materials. Thus they are of opinion that if GMR would work, they would be able to produce layers of only a few atoms thick, so the GMR could also be considered one of the first applications of nanotechnology. This years' Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to a German scientist, Gerhard Ertl, "for his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces". This prize is an acknowledgement of the importance of Ertl's studies i...

	Nanotubes Can be Produced from Bacteria
...Scientists discovered that living bacteria can produce semiconducting nanotubes that have a great potential for their application in electronics, nanotechnology and other fields of material science. Experts at the the University of California-Riverside and South Korea's Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology said that this scientific breakthrough might help in developing new nanoelectronic devices. Nosang M...
