Nano-Tweezer Get Moving
from the little-things-with-a-lot-of-potential dept
It’s a step forward from the previous construction of nano-tweezers, scientists have now figured out how to power these tweezers to make them open and close. The solution is pretty unorthodox (although, simple once you understand how it works) but because of this we’re getting close to a very exciting period in nano-self assembly and biotechnology may play a big part in it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Re: nanotech
I've been into nano for a long time, I also wrote my undergraduate thesis on nanomedicine. I'd be very interested in finding out what your building (even if you want me to keep it confidential, you can just email me!).

Re: nanotech
Just checked out your page, it took me back to the not so distant year ago before I finished my degree in Molecular Genetics! I remember memorizing the order of transcription binding for a test and your trancription factor 2 H was one of them (pretty neat!).
