Boffins peg co-polymers for cheap chip construction (The Register)
Molecule lithography breakthrough Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have devised a potential future chip-making technique that is the molecular equivalent of that old 1970s toy which kids used to make pictures by stretching coloured rubber bands out on a pegged board.… (more…) Related items New sensor array detects single molecules for the first time (EurekAlert!)

Molecular Wheels Need Hubs to Form (Scientific American)
A team of chemists has unraveled the process by which a complex nanoscale structure self-assembles, finding that a wheel-shaped molybdenum oxide molecule takes shape with the help of a transient scaffold at its center.

New Study Confirms Exotic Electric Properties Of Graphene (ElectronicsWeb)
First, it was the soccer-ball-shaped molecules dubbed buckyballs. Then it was the cylindrically shaped nanotubes. Now, the hottest new material in physics and nanotechnology is graphene: a remarkably flat molecule made of carbon atoms arranged in hexagonal rings much like molecular chicken wire.
