This Antenna Bends but Won't Break Injecting liquid metal into a polymer results in a twistable, stretchable antenna. New OLED and LCD displays could be made using a hybrid material. A Superlens That Assembles Itself Easily made nanolenses can perform superhigh-resolution lithography and imaging. Light-as-Air, Heatproof Nanotube Muscles New nanotube sheets combine unique properties. Polymers that arrange into nanostructures could store terabits on a square inch. Stretchable electronics and the strongest material ever were just two achievements of 2008. Making Graphene More Practical A novel process yields big pieces of single-ply graphene for smaller, faster electronics. New designs for materials that repel all liquids. Researchers have made new nano building blocks for optical computing and solar-cell coatings. New designs could decrease the chances that nuclear materials will fall into the hands of terrorists. More-Efficient Thermoelectrics An advance makes the conversion of heat to electricity practical. A Record-Breaking Optical Chip Intel researchers have built a superfast silicon chip for optical networking. Cellulose nanofibers from wood pulp create a superstrong paper. Researchers investigate why iron arsenide materials become superconducting at relatively high temperatures. [1]
