‘Nanodumbbells’ for Self-Assembly Nanostructures
Roland Piquepaille writes "A group of chemists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has developed 'nanodumbbells' — gold-tipped nanocrystals which can be used as building blocks for future electronic devices. These 'nanodumbbells', which are shaped like mini-weightlifting bars, will apparently solve two nanotechnological problems: assembling billions of nanocrystals into a single integrated electrical circuit; and provide good electrical contact. And they will be used to create self-assembling chain structures of nanocrystals. This overview provides other details, pictures and references about this project. [Additional note, totally unrelated to the scientific content: there is not a single reference to 'nanodumbbells' by Google, at least right now when I'm typing this.]"

google doesn't know about nanodumbbells…
Interesting. If technological progress keeps accelerating then google is going to miss out. Search engines will need to catalog new info at a greater rate.

Re:google doesn't know about nanodumbbells…
You can't catalog info that isn't there.
This is probably the only article in the world with info about 'nanodumbbells', and given that it's brand new it is therefore justified that the only place you'll find a link is … a news site.
Eventually it will probably be on google, but don't get all worried that just because google doesn't have something means you are missing it… more likely is that it just doesn't exist.
This website has some serious posting problems.. wtf is an invalid form key?
