Much has been said about the great impact and improvements nanotechnology will make in our lives–offering cost-effective green energy, medical treatment and therapy breakthroughs, and new advanced nanoelectronics that are small and ubiquitous, even becoming a part of our future wardrobe.

Think small, think smart–that is the essence of research into carbon nanotubes (CNTs) currently underway in Italy and Switzerland that has tremendous implications in the search to find ways to “bypass” faulty brain wiring.

For the first time in its history, the MEMS market will fail to generate any growth in 2008.

Advances in lab-on-a-chip technology are driving development of low-cost, high-throughput applications for in-the-field diagnostics, cancer research, and other unmet needs in the healthcare field.

Since the early 1980s, companies have been trying to replace quartz with silicon MEMS-based oscillators as the frequency reference in clock and timing oscillators.
