DNA buckyballs
Drug delivery -- the ability to target drugs to specific parts of the body -- is a major focus of nanotechnology research. The goal is to increase the effectiveness and decrease the toxicity of drugs used to treat diseases like cancer...

Using light to measure force
Micromechanical sensors that measure physical forces like acceleration usually require that electronic circuits read what microscopic mechanical devices are doing...

Observing neurons in their natural habitat
Researchers from Stanford University have produced a very small version of the endoscope, a common medical device used for probing inside the body...

Small-world thresholds by the numbers

View from the High Ground: CMU's Brad Myers
Technology Research News Editor Eric Smalley carried out an email conversation with Carnegie Mellon University professor Brad Myers during the summer of 2005 that touched on cell phones, remotes, difficult software, email triage, anti-intellectualism and a future where we're all managers.

How It Works: DNA Technologies
The versatile DNA molecule has proven to be a powerful technological building block. Researchers have developed ways of combining DNA molecules that allow them to carry out computations in test tubes and create two-dimensional patterns and three-dimensional structures at the nanoscale.
