Cal physicists make a radio 10,000 times thinner than a human hair

"Physicists at UC Berkeley say they have produced the world's smallest radio out of a single carbon nanotube that is 10,000 times thinner than a human hair.

Professor Alex Zettl led a team that developed the minuscule filament, which can be tuned to receive AM or FM transmissions.

The first song it played? "Layla" by Derek & the Dominos. Eric Clapton's unmistakable guitar riff can be heard on a scratchy recording of the nanoradio's output posted by Zettl online."

How cool is that?You can listen to the transmission here:

Pretty amazing stuff.

YEAH PRETTY COOL. tHEY JUST GOTTA MAKE IT receive clear and put one in every jacket...

Yeah could do with a bit of fine tuning I guess
But still an amazing achievement.
As always these days,I am sure this technology will be snapped up by the military/Gov so we could soon see this kind of thing as parts of clothing-or anything else.

I don't doubt the technology, but I do question the song. Layla, the long version on broadcast radio. Normally, the shorter radio version is played on the FM stations around here. Just an observation.
