Forbes announced its picks for the top five nanotechnology breakthroughs in 2006.
1. DNA origami, at Caltech
2. Nanomagnets to clean up drinking water, at Rice
3. Arrays connect nanowire transistors with neurons, at Harvard
4. Single nanotube electrical circuits, at IBM Watson, U. Florida, and Columbia
5. Nanoparticles destroy prostate cancer, at MIT, BWH, Harvard, U. Illinois, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (S. Korea), and Dana Farber Cancer Institute
As they point out in the article, the intersection of biology and computing was an important theme in 2006. But still no gray goo. Maybe next year.
