The kid didn't invent it, but he did make an implementation of a relatively new idea. http://blog.wired.com/geekdad/2008/09/12-year-old-rev.html?npu=1&mbid=yhp

- hugh 18y agoDid he actually build one? I haven't seen any indication that he did anything other than "design" one. And it's a lot easier to "design" a nanoscale device than it is to build one. I mean, I'm sure the kid is smart and all (and no doubt has had some help from his parents) but the media-hype to technical-details ratio here is off the charts.
