Nanotechnology Update

Researchers figure out how to line up buckyballs like a string of pearls, called buckywire:

"So what might buckywires be good for? First up is photovoltaics: these buckywires look as if they could be hugely efficient light harvesters because of their great surface area and the way that they can conduct photon-liberated electrons. Then there are various electronic applications in wiring up molecular circuit boards."
