An ASU engineering student has shown his school spirit in a small way--by creating a microscopic etching of Sparky, the Sun Devil mascot, that's smaller than a human red blood cell. --by Chelsea Brown

Diodes are used in an endless array of devices. They are essential ingredients for the semiconductor industry. Making diodes smaller means cheaper cost and better performance for electronic devices. ASU researchers have now made diodes on the scale of a single molecule.--by Richard Harth

Students who have ideas for improving health care technology now have a way to make them reality. --by Joe Kullman

"Smart" nanomaterials allow scientists to investigate biological interactions within the body's cells at the molecular level. This could lead to new diagnostic tools and customized therapy and prevention. (part 3 of 3) --by Joe Kullman

The world can get fantastically bizarre when you wander mentally out to the edge of the theoretical dimensions of physics. In fact, thinking about the nanoscale universe is mind bending. (part 2 of 3) --by Joe Kullman

K-12 students are literally stepping into learning with ASU's interactive SMALLab. Through advanced technology, students manipulate a multidimensional, multisensory environment in order to learn about everything from physics to oceanography to language arts. --by Sheilah Britton

Nanotechnology is a world of the minuscule. By manipulating matter at atomic and molecular levels, scientists have the potential to radically change consumer technology, health care, energy, and national security.

ASU bioengineering professors are designing electrical stimulation devices that interact with the nervous system to contract paralyzed muscles. Such devices can help the nervous system recover after devastating spinal cord injury. --by Melissa Crytzer Fry

Through GlobalResolve, faculty and students from across ASU are tackling public health and environmental problems in developing nations. --by Adelheid Fischer

ASU engineering students are designing and assembling medical devices for disabled villagers in Malawi. --by Joe Kullman
