U.S. Scientists Create Nano Brushes
Colin Smith writes "It looks like U.S. scientists are getting good at manipulating buckytubes. 'The world's smallest brushes, with bristles more than a thousand times finer than a human hair, have been created by researchers in the U.S.' This tells me that nanomaterials are moving from science to engineering."
Now I can finally get in between my teeth with my toothbrush.

Here is an artist rendering of a nanobrush in action. See them working so hard, so you don't have tooooo...!
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Imagine the possibilities. Now hard drive manufacturers can paint nano-racing-stripes on their heads for dramatic speed improvement. Now memory manufacturers can paint nano-racing-stripes on their transistors for a dramatic speed improvement. Now toothbrush manufacturers can create a toothbrush so fine we not only brush our own teeth, but the teeth of all bacteria living on them. Everyone should take note: We are living in 1984 -- or was it a Brave New World?
After all, I am strangely colored.
Oh. So that's how you get a wind tunnel effect when you get a row of blondes standing next to each other.
