Feed Nanoscale Pasta: Toward Nanoscale Electronics (sciencedaily.com)
Pasta tastes like pasta -- with or without a spiral. But when you jump to the nanoscale, everything changes: carbon nanotubes and nanofibers that look like nanoscale spiral pasta have completely different electronic properties than their non-spiraling cousins. Engineers are studying these differences in the hopes of creating new kinds of components for nanoscale electronics.
