"NANOTECH: IBM's nanotubes yield smallest solid-state emitter"
Phaedon Avouris describes IBM Research's carbon nanotube technology which has enabled the world's smallest solid-state emitter and the first electrically-controlled single-molecule light emitter. The light-emitting nanotube (LEN) operates in the important 1.5-micron range, portending optical communications on silicon chips with integrated 1.4-nm diameter LENs.

"DIGITAL-BIO: Living enzyme acts as molecular switch "
Johns Hopkins University researcher Marc Ostermeier described a single-molecule switch engineered from a strand of a living protein�an enzyme. Such molecular switchs could be applied as super-sensitive sensors that detect even a single molecule of a biological warfare agent. Medically, molecular switches have even wider-scale potential, from early detection of hard-to-diagnosis maladies, to "lethal drug" delivery only to cancerous cells.

"Aufgeladene" Brennstoffzelle soll Leistung verzehnfachen"
Mit dem "Aufladen" von Brennstoffzellen durch Mischen von Brennstoff und Sauerstoff sind extrem flache, in einem Walzvorgang herstellbare Brennstoffzellen zu erwarten. Die Inventor Generics Group Ltd. aus Cambridge in England glaubt, dass die neue Entwicklung die sperrigen Metalltrennplatten �berfl�ssig machen, die Zellgr��en herabsetzen und die Leistungsdichte verzehnfachen wird.

"CHIPS: Growth envisioned for semiconducting crystals"
Rudolf "Ruud" Tromp described his groundbreaking work in the study of the growth of organic-semiconducting crystals, such as pentacene, which is being applied in flat-panel display technology. Tromp's work today follows naturally from pioneering research he initiated at IBM's T.J. Watson Research Center in 1983. Indeed, the work he began there in understanding the structure and growth of semiconductor surfaces and interfaces has been rewarded by the American Physical Society, which has presented him with its Davisson-Germer Prize in Atomic or Surface Physics.

"SOFT: 'chip' compiles Java into no-OS embedded C"
Francis daCosta explains Advanced Cybernetics Group's claim to have developed a "write anywhere, run anywhere" technology, called Eclipse, that compiles Java programs into an embedded-C program that has no operating system. Next, ACG intends to compile the C program as software not only for embedded microcontrollers but also for hardware field-programmable gate arrays. Eventually, the company wants to program every chip in a system � not just the CPU � with Java.
