Physicists have created the world’s smallest incandescent lamp using a filament made from a single carbon nanotube only 100 atoms wide. Invisible to the untrained eye, the filament appears as a tiny point of light when the lamp is turned on. Even with the best optical microscope it is only just possible to resolve the nanotube’s nonzero length. The team uses an electron microscope capable of atomic resolution to image the filament’s true structure.

Tropicana Las Vegas emerges from bankruptcy
LAS VEGAS — Tropicana Las Vegas has emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy with new owners.

Toronto-based Onex Corporation and former MGM Mirage President Alex Yemenidjian acquired a majority stake in the Las Vegas hotel-casino this week, as it completed its yearlong bankruptcy process.
The new owners took over the property Thursday from [...]

Manufacturers of products that are highly reliant on technology – those in the industrial, automotive and aerospace fields, for example- have been pushing for smaller and smaller Membrane Potentiometer Sensors.  Smaller sensors would mean their products can meet increasing demand for miniaturization, but there’s always been a problem: no-one could produce a small sensor that could also withstand 60 degree Celsius and 100% humidity operating temperatures.  For years, it seemed unlikely that this technological hurdle would be overcome.  Spectra Symbol has finally broken the barrier, introducing a line of potentiometers able to withstand the toughest operational environments.  Measuring only 0.5mm in thickness, this ultra-thin sensor is made from a range of materials, including polyester and fiberglass (depending on temperature resistance and cycle need of the application).  Drawing on over 30 years of experience, multiple patents and proprietary technology, Spectra Symbol has designed a Linear sensor able to meet the needs of industry.
