Supposed next-gen iPod Nano with camera leaks again, clip back in tow

If you’ll recall, it was April of last year when we reported on pictures from Apple.pro , which claimed to show a seventh-generation iPod Nano chassis with room for a camera. Not long after, the site posted a second leak of the device, hinting at the omission of the Nano’s famous clip in favor of optics.

This Is NASA’s Cancer-Sniffing Cellphone Sensor

What if you could use your phone to test the air for toxins? What if you could monitor your health simply by blowing on it? Sounds amazing, right?

Researchers claim to have developed ‘smallest conceivable switch’

A team of researchers at the Technische Universitaet Muenchen (or TUM ) led by Dr. Willi Auwaerter and Professor Johannes Barth appear to have made something of a breakthrough on the road to the miniaturization of everything. They’ve devised a molecular switch that measures just one square nanometer, but is able to switch between four distinct states on demand

IBM shows off 155GHz graphene transistor in the name of DARPA research

IBM might be cautious about touting graphene as a a silicon killer, but that hasn’t stopped it from pushing the production of ever faster graphene transistors. With the recent demonstration of a 155GHz graphene transistor, the firm successfully outdid its previous record-setting efforts , which produced a cut-off frequency of 100GHz. What’s more, the thing is also IBM’s smallest to date, with a gate length of 40 nanometers; that’s 200 nanometers less than the 100GHz iteration

Carbon nanotubes used to more easily detect cancer cells, HIV

Cancer’s not slowing its march to ruining as many lives as it possibly can, so it’s always pleasing to hear of any new developments that act as hurdles.

Silicine might be the new graphene, now that it’s been physically constructed

Surely you’ve heard of graphene , the one-atom-thick layer of pencil lead that has the potential to change the world of computers, batteries and screens? You might want to familiarize yourself with the term “silicine,” too.

Scientists grow nanolasers on silicon chips, prove microscopic blinkenlights are the future

What you see above may look like a nanoscale Obelisk of Light, ready to protect the tiny forces of Nod, but that’s not it at all. It’s a nanolaser, grown directly on a field of silicon by scientists at Berkeley .

HEX debuts iPod nano watch band compatible with Nike+

Sure, you can can get a Nike+ SportsWatch , or a simply pair an iPod nano with Nike+ , but those looking to use their iPod nano as a watch with Nike+ have so far been left with few options beyond the DIY route . Watch band-maker HEX now looks set to change that, however, with its new Sports Watch Band that’s set to debut in April. As you can see above, there’s not a whole lot too it — just a reasonably stylish wristband with a “port” that’s able to accommodate the Nike+ attachment

Nanoscale ropes braid themselves, tiny sailors still needed to tie tiny knots

While perhaps not being quite as useful as towels, ropes are might handy things to have. With them you can attach things to other things and, well, that’s really their primary use.

iPod nano hack nixes an app, can’t add your own yet

We’re still a ways off from living our dream iPod nano watch scenarios , but here’s a small step in the right direction. As the story goes, on a flight home James Whelton booted up an iPod nano with a modified SpringBoard plist file that “removed” an app from the screens and replaced it with a blank space. What does this mean
