Check out CNSI’s 2005 Annual Research Report (PDF format) for summaries of the latest nanotech work out of this cutting-edge effort funded by the state of California. Projects that caught my eye:
Powered Artificial Nano-Machines: Molecular Valves and Impellers
Synthesis, Control, and Assembly of Molecular Machines
Linear Artificial Muscles for Mechanical Nanoactuation
Operational Nanovalves
Powering a Supramolecular Machine with a Nanoscale Power Supply
They also do outreach to schools: see the Nanoscience Community Outreach Program. —Christine
