nano radio

Nanotube radio on video The nanotube radio seen under a high-resolution transmission electron microscope, which allows researchers to observe the radio in action as it tunes in Derek & The Dominos playing Eric Clapton's "Layla." When not tuned in, the nanotube does not vibrate. As the researchers tune it to the proper frequency, however, the nanotube vibates at radio frequencies, which blurs its image. The nanotube is about 700 nanometers long and 10 nanometers in diameter — one ten-thousandth the width of a human hair.
