Sonic Devestator Just in time for Halloween comes the perfect device for repelling mischevious trick-or-treaters. That is if you happen to be the neighborhood's resident mean old man and don't mind causing the little monsters some intense headaches and nausea.   Atomic Battery Despite its name, this atomic battery couldn't exactly power the Batmobile's turbines. But it would be perfect if Bruce Wayne ever wanted to build a Bat-nanobot.   Custom Nanotubes The nano world keeps getting bigger. Perhaps not literally, but certainly more diverse. After the discovery of buckyballs and nanotubes, there seems to be no end to the ways scientists can assemble molecules in chains.   RNA Model Until recently, drug manufacturers had to take a "shot gun" approach to new drug design -- throwing different drugs at a cell and seeing what works. But a mapped out ribosome model in a computer can speed the process.   Sea Glider Don't let its looks fool you -- Seaglider is not built for speed.

No problem -- if you've got a Hide Away House.   Nanocrystals Like the happenstance discovery of buckminsterfullerene (or "buckyballs") in 1985, two researchers on a related quest have learned to grow large super-hard crystals. Pulickel Ajayan and Ganapathiraman Ramanath of Rensselaer Polytechnic in Troy, NY, were originally trying to create a new kind of electrical conductor.   Motion-Tracking Head-Mounted Display While huge, flat-screen computer monitors and TVs are all the rage, they still take up wall or desk space. And if you're really cramped for room, very private or just very introverted you might be wishing for head-mounted display.   Photographing Pain "Where does it hurt?" the doctor asks the patient with chronic pain.
