Invisible man achieved using invisibility cloak technology (w/video)

Fractal Antenna Systems today disclosed that it has successfully rendered a man invisible. The firm's new invisibility cloak hid a man at microwaves over a wide bandwidth at high fidelity. This is the first time any large object has been rendered invisible and the first time a person has disappeared from view using invisibility cloak technology.

Researchers demonstrate technique for growing virtually pure samples of single-wall carbon nanotubes

Researchers from the University of Southern California and the National Institute of Standards and Technology have demonstrated a technique for growing virtually pure samples of single-wall carbon nanotubes with identical structures, a process they liken to "cloning" the nanotubes. If it can be suitably scaled up, their approach could solve an important materials problem in nanoelectronics: producing carbon nanotubes of a specific structure to order.

Making nanofluidic devices using paper and scissors

Sometimes simplicity is best. Two Northwestern University researchers have discovered a remarkably easy way to make nanofluidic devices: using paper and scissors. And they can cut a device into any shape and size they want, adding to the method's versatility.
