Today’s nanotech roundup talks about nano-particle silver and carbon nanotubes being used as antibiotic materials, the creation of metal oxide nanotubes that could be better for electronics than carbon nanotubes, highly energy efficient nanotech-enabled coatings, single-molecule switches and progress on the basic science leading to atomic-scale data storage, and ultra-fast curing cement.

Given that it’s a rapidly evolving field, I’ve decided to do a roundup of cool nanotechnology applications, research, updates on previously reported applications, even the politics of nanotech. I hope that those of you who are fellow nanotech geeks enjoy it.
