In 2011, exactly ten years after the first presentation of the "Mechanics of Carbon Nanotubes" short course, a new book with the same title has been published by a 2004 NASA spin-off, Nanodesigns Consulting of Newark, DE. The new still emerging field of nanomechanics is, probably, one of the simplest parts in the conceptual foundation of new nanoscale sciences and the nanotechnology. It is an essential part of the new nanotech education.
Scientists from the Niels Bohr Institute have developed a novel laser cooling method for semiconductor membranes, paving the way to develop efficient cooling systems for components of future ultrasensitive sensors and quantum computers.
