World's smallest radio unveiled
Tuesday, October 23, 2007 by PPV
"The development marks an important step in the evolution of nano-electronics and could lead to the production of the world’s smallest radio"
Almost 1,000 times smaller than current radio technology, thousands of times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
Researchers in University of California used it to transmit classical music wirelessly from an iPod to a speaker several metres away from the music player.
The study marks the first time that a nano-sized detector has been demonstrated in a working radio system.
Full details of their findings will be published next month in the American Chemical Society's Nano Letters.
