SciAm.com reports on radio made from a carbon nanotube
Holy crap, this is AWESOME. From a March 2009 article preview on ScientificAmerican.com:
Key Concepts
Nanotechnology has demonstrated more hyperbole than substance for many years—and the “nano” label has been applied to items ranging from motor oil to lipstick.
One of the first true nanoscale machines is a radio that can play songs such as Eric Clapton’s “Layla” and the theme from Star Wars.
A single nanotube in this device performs the function of multiple components in larger radios. The nanoapparatus may ultimately find uses in drug delivery devices, prosthetics or explosives detectors.
