Nano
Inspired by Eric Drexler's Engines of Creation and the fascinating world of atomic-scale mechanics.
I collect videos and material about the fascinating world of nano technology. As a casual enthusiast, I have affinity towards visualizations.

Carbon Nanotube Radio Receiver Can Detect and Weigh Individual Gold AtomsI seem to be missing something here. I understand that the frequency changes with the mass of the cantilever. However, shouldn't the frequency also change depending on how close the added mass is to the free end of cantilever? This should only be accurate if the added mass is somehow ...Phil Duby added 16 months ago

Twine now open - sorryBent, as far as I remember you have a larger number of closed twines, I wonder if it's more of the same case? For instance: http://www.twine.com/twine/11113l15y-4qy/software http://www.twine.com/twine/11118f6qn-5sc/games http://www.twine.com/twine/11139y2c8-6fg/musicAasemoon . added 16 months ago
