ITHACA, N.Y. -- Six years ago Cornell University researchers built the world's smallest guitar -- about the size of a red blood cell -- to
demonstrate the possibility of manufacturing tiny mechanical devices using techniques originally designed for building microelectronic circuits.
Now, by "playing" a new, streamlined nanoguitar, Cornell physicists are demonstrating how such devices could substitute for electronic circuit
components to make circuits smaller, cheaper and more energy-efficient.
I thought this was pretty nifty. I doubt they could eventually go further and make something energy efficient from that, but it'd be fun to think
they could.
