Nanocircuits flex tech muscle

Mighty electronic chips in your clothes to monitor your
vitals? A tablet that folds up and fits in your back pocket? Research
scientists Stephen Bedell and Davood Shahrjerdi at IBM's Thomas J Watson
Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York think that flexible nanoscale
circuits can do just that. 





The flexible nanoelectronic circuit Bedell and Shahrjedri
designed is 10,000 times

IBM startup cuts a new path in nanolithography

In 2010, scientists at IBM Research - Zurich created the
world’s smallest three-dimensional map of the earth (a GuinnessWorld Record) demonstrating a new tool to fabricate structures and objects
on the nanometer scale.



But IBM isn’t in the nano-tooling business, so standard
procedure to bring the tool to market would require a partner – similar to what
was done with the scanning
