Nanotech Briefs magazine has
announced the winners of its third annual Nano 50 awards competition,
which recognizes the top 50 technologies, innovators, and products that
have significantly impacted, or will impact, the development of
nanotechnology. The 50 winners are the most innovative people, designs, and
