Surry University in the UK claims that they have created the first machine for commericial production of carbon nanotubes grown at low temperature. Evidently this machine will make better semiconductors than nanotubes grown at high temperature because existing silicon can be incorporated. I'm not sure if the silicon is being grown directly with the carbon in these applications, or if one is being added to the other at a later stage in production. Either way, silicon couldn't be used previously due to the high temperatures of the nanotube growth process.

The City of Berkley will introduce legislation to regulate the effects of nano-technology on human health and the environment.

Nothing like the ignorant legislating a burgeoning industry to ensure its success. Perhaps the fine politicians of Berkley will take the time to get to know what they are doing before passing any laws. It would be a shame to have a repeat of the dihydrogen oxide incident.

Thinking about this a little more, why doesn't na
