A scientist has unveiled a working radio built from carbon nanotubes 
that are only a few atoms across, or almost 1,000 times smaller than 
today's radio technology. 

The nanotech device is a demodulator, a simple circuit that decodes 
radio waves and turns them into audio signals. By hooking the decoder 
up to two metal wires, University of California at Irvine professor Peter 
Burke transmitted music via AM radio waves from an iPod to speakers 
across the room. 

"People have been working on nanoelectronics for many years, and 
there have been advances at the device level on switches and wires," 
said Burke, who reported his findings in the November 14 issue of the 
American Chemical Society's Nano Letters. "This work takes a step 
towards showing nanoelectronics in systems." 

The process centers on working with tiny tubes of carbon only 
discovered in the 1980s. They are sometimes called buckytubes, after 
the noted inventor Buckminster Fuller. 

Nanoelectronic systems are considered crucial to the continued 
miniaturization of electronic devices. Many companies are interested in 
the long-term potential of the technology.
