Indeed, this item showed up in rec.radio.shortwave yesterday and referenced
a 'livescience.com' article which was very short on specifics. A Google
search on <carbon nanotube radio alex berkeley> yesterday produced only a
modest number of hits linking to just that article -- it sure is a different
story today (about 75,800 hits to many more sources). Does anyone have
access to any journal papers on this effort?
