Vědci vytvořili nejmenšího sněhuláka na světě. Je přibližně stejně vysoký, jako pětina šířky lidského vlasu, tedy zhruba 0,01 mm. Odborníci z Národní laboratoře fyziky v Londýně ke svému dílu nepoužili sněhové koule, nýbrž špičkovou technologii pro práci s nanočásticemi.

"Nanotechnology" will be a much more familiar word to everyone in 2005, not just scientists, say analysts.Toshiba and NEC have already produced small fuel cell prototypes1 - Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLEDs) for displays 2 - Photovoltaic film that converts light into electricity 3 - Scratch-proof coated windows that clean themselves with UV 4 - Fabrics coated to resist stains and control temperature 5 - Intelligent clothing measures pulse and respiration 6 - Bucky-tubeframe i

TINY robots that can turn into any shape - from a replica human to a banana to a mobile phone - are being developed by scientists in the United States. The new science of claytronics, which will use nanotechnology to create tiny robots called catoms, should enable three-dimensional copies of people to be "faxed" around the world for virtual meetings. A doctor could also consult with a patient over the phone, even taking their pulse by holding the wrist of the claytronic replica, reports New Scientist. And the nano "clay" could be c
