Texas scientists develop 'nanodragster'
Abstract:
Scientists at Rice University's Richard E. Smalley Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology are reporting the development of a "nanodragster" that measures only 1/50,000th the width of a human hair. The research may speed the course toward development of a new generation of futuristic molecular machines.
