Super Sensitive Scale can Measure the Weight of a Gold Atom

Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional
nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley
Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical
system (NEMS) that can function as a scale sensitive enough to measure the mass
of a single atom of gold.
