Screen reader software provides blind people fairly good access to e-mail, web text, and most electronic text documents. Until recently that access did not extend to math and scientific formulas or to figures. It does now. I will give a sneak preview of a collaborative project between ViewPlus and the American Physical Society that provides full access to APS journals, including the math and graphics. The APS has the most advanced publishing technology of any modern publisher (Of course, they are physicists!). | 23

A brief introduction to nanotechnology will be followed by a description of two recent projects. In the first, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was used to coat carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with a thin film of ZnO. ALD is a highly conformal deposition technique in which films are deposited on a surface one monolayer at a time. CNTs are well known to have excellent field emission properties. ZnO is a versatile wide bandgap transparent semiconductor material with unique piezoelectric, UV photo luminescent (PL), gas sensing, and field emission properties that hold much promise for nanotech applications. | 25
