The December 2006 issue of Technology Review (available on-line) includes a review of the Year in Nanotech. Leading the way include developments in nano-enabled LCD screens (carbon nanotubes), advances in nanoelectronics (nanotubes and nanowires), and nanocures using polymers-plus-proteins to fight cancer.Also noted are nanowires used in handheld sensors to detect chemical weapons and biological particles.
