Nanotubes weight atoms

By Christopher Moore

Cornell News reports carbon nanotube oscillators have been built that can weight an atom.

Using a carbon nanotube, Cornell University researchers have produced a tiny electromechanical oscillator that might be capable of weighing a single atom. The device, perhaps the smallest of its kind ever produced, can be tuned across a wide range of radio frequencies, and one day might replace bulky power-hungry elements in electronic circuits
