IRCA,
This has interesting implications.
"Researchers at the National Science Foundation have utilized a single carbon
nanotube to perform all the functions of a standard radio, acting as an
antenna, tunable filter, amplifier, and demodulator. They were then able to
tune in a radio signal generated in the room and play it back through an
attached speaker. The device is functional across a bandwidth widely used for
commercial radio. From the NSF: 'The source content for the first laboratory
test of the radio was "Layla," by Derek and the Dominos, followed soon after
by "Good Vibrations" by the Beach Boys.'"
