 Nature NanotechnologyResearchers develop one of the world's smallest electronic circuits A team of scientists, led by Guillaume Gervais from McGill's Physics Department and Mike Lilly from Sandia National Laboratories, has engineered one of the world's smallest electronic circuits. It is formed by two wires separated by only about 150 atoms or 15 nanometers.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesResearchers find best routes to self-assembling 3-D shapes Researchers at Brown and Johns Hopkins universities have found optimal configurations for creating 3-D geometric shapes -- like tiny, highly simplified geodesic domes that assemble by themselves. The Brown team developed the algorithmic tools, and the Johns Hopkins team tested selected configurations. The research may lead to advances from drug-delivery containers to 3-D sensors and electronic circuits. Results published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Nature NanotechnologyVoltage increases up to 25 percent observed in closely packed nanowires at Sandia Labs Unexpected voltage increases of up to 25 percent in two barely separated nanowires means that designers of next-generation telephones, handheld computers, batteries, and certain solar arrays may need to make allowance for such surprise boosts.

Aerosol Science and TechnologyElusive ultrafine indoor air contaminants yield to NIST analysis NIST researchers spent 75 days on the job carrying out some very important homework -- measurements in a 'typical dwelling' of the release, distribution and fate of nanoscale particles emitted by gas and electric stoves, hair dryers, power tools and candles.

$3 million awarded for research and training The United States is experiencing a shortage of scientists trained in neutron scattering, which is used to develop drugs, high-strength metals and electronic devices. In an effort to combat the shortage, the National Science Foundation has awarded a $3 million grant to the University of Missouri to train current and future scientists and thus, help build a scientific foundation for future discoveries.

Nature NanotechnologyS-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g electrical conductance to the limit In research appearing in today's issue of Nature Nanotechnology, Nongjian Tao describes a method for mechanically controlling the geometry of a single molecule, situated in a junction between a pair of gold electrodes that form a simple circuit. The manipulations produced over tenfold increase in conductivity. Contact: Joseph Caspermeyer
