NEMS

Researchers at Monash University in Australia claim to have produced nanoscale directional antennas that accurately focus light at the nanoscale and may provide the ultra-narrow beams needed for upcoming nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) and the eventual production of lab-on-a-chip devices.

Spanish researchers have developed a mass sensor sensitive to the presence of absence of a single proton.

Researchers have created a working light mill that's just 100 nanometers in size.

A tiny sensor, known as an acoustic resonant sensor, could bring the benefits of home testing to the diagnosis a variety of diseases, including breast and prostate cancers.

Nuclear batteries have an extremely long life and high energy density compared to chemical batteries. Unfortunately, they are also very large and heavy. But researchers have developed a nuclear battery that is the size and thickness of a penny.
