To get around this, they typically measure a related quantity. One simple way to measure mass is to use a beam attached to a solid fixed substrate. When something is resting on the the beam, it will deflect and vibrate. The deflection will be related to the mass of the object resting on it, its distance from the fixed end, and the stiffness of the beam itself. http://www.nanodaddy.com/news-description.php?news_id=740 40CF4ED8-29EC-4FC6-A563-2DFB27462CAA Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:49:08 -0500 Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have performed the first scanning tunneling spectroscopy of graphene flakes equipped with a "gate" electrode. http://www.nanodaddy.com/news-description.php?news_id=739 8E382BE6-1E34-4AEE-87BD-F55E35462E66 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:49:13 -0500 A new expert analysis in Nature Nanotechnology questions whether industry, government and scientists are successfully applying lessons learned from past technologies to ensure the safe and responsible development of emerging nanotechnologies. http://www.nanodaddy.com/news-description.php?news_id=738 5B000348-2DF8-468D-9DDB-A7D2C10EE276 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:49:15 -0500 NanoIndian.com, the premier web portal dedicated to promoting nanotechnology in India today announced a strategic partnership with Bangalore Nano 2008, the largest industry event on nanotechnology in India. http://www.nanoindian.com/news-description.php?news_id=726 79036F16-12D0-42EA-BE03-3732E3AE62F6 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:49:21 -0500 U.S. Senators John Kerry and Olympia Snowe this week introduced the National Nanotechnology Initiative Amendments Act of 2008.
