Naco, "nanomicrophone"?

Question

I'm looking for manufacture and, if possible, purchasing information on the Naco nanomicrophone. Internet search has turned up little current information. What I have is as follows:

The Register


Researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory claims ... devised the most sensitive listening device ever. ... the tiny microphone could theoreticaly detect the sound of a single cell growing. ... nanomicrophone is based on stereocilla -- carbon nanotubes -- might be able to literally "hear" cancer cells growing. ... highly directional and sensitive. testing the device was between 1998 and 2001.

I have two names: 1. Andrew Cleland 2. Flavio Naco

-------------------------------------------
Getting this information is very, very important. If you have good Internet search skills, your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Get in touch with someone in the nanotech area from Cornell. University. Ithica NY. They are state of the art. Is possible that concept has disappeared because of clandestine uses. Try patent search. (applications too)
