Watching Crystals Grow May Lead To Faster Electronic Devices Washington DC (SPX) Jan 27, 2010 
The quest for faster electronic devices recently got something more than a little bump up in technological knowhow. Scientists at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. discovered that the thin, smooth, crystalline sheets needed to make semiconductors, which are the foundation of modern computers, might be grown into smoother sheets by managing the random darting motions of the atomic particles that a ... read moreTaiwan to let chip makers invest in China firms: report 
Taipei (AFP) Jan 25, 2010Taiwan will allow its chip makers to invest in their counterparts in China in response to growing calls from the island's business community for closer high-tech ties, local media said Monday. The Taipei-based Commercial Times carried the report one day before Taiwan delegates were scheduled to meet with officials in Beijing for a first round of talks on a planned trade agreement. The pa ... more

Asia's IT parts makers struggle with demand boom
Taipei (AFP) Jan 17, 2010 Wrong-footed by rocketing consumer demand, Asian technology suppliers are scrambling to expand capacity before inventories run dry of everything from semiconductors to flat-panel screens. Asian components makers, betting on a much longer economic downturn, last year ran down their stockpiles to "very unhealthy levels", according to Nancy Liu, an analyst at Taiwan's Industrial Technology Rese ... more Kodak files patent suit against Apple, RIM
Washington (AFP) Jan 14, 2010Eastman Kodak Co. announced Thursday that it has filed lawsuits against Apple and Blackberry maker Research In Motion alleging they infringed Kodak digital imaging technology. The photography company said it had filed a complaint with the US International Trade Commission claiming that camera-enabled iPhones and Blackberrys infringe a Kodak patent related to an image previewing method. ... more When The Nose Knows All 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Jan 12, 2010Some might say it's as plain as the nose on your face. But detecting toxic or dangerous chemicals in the microgravity environment of space takes a little extra "sniffing." That's why ENose, or Electronic Nose, spent 10 months on the International Space Station testing whether the technology was useful to detect possible hazardous vapors. Managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in ... more Scientists Create World's First Molecular Transistor 
New Haven CT (SPX) Jan 03, 2010A group of scientists has succeeded in creating the first transistor made from a single molecule. The team, which includes researchers from Yale University and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, published their findings in the December 24 issue of the journal Nature. The team, including Mark Reed, the Harold Hodgkinson Professor of Engineering and Applied Scien ... more |

IBM sees future of microchips in DNA
San Francisco (AFP) Aug 17, 2009IBM on Monday said it was looking to DNA "origami" for a powerful new generation of ultra-tiny microchips. The US computer giant collaborated with California Institute of Technology researchers to develop a way to design microchips that mimic how chains of DNA molecules fold, allowing for processors far smaller and denser than any seen today. "This is a way to assemble an electronics ... more EPEAT green electronics registry goes international 
San Francisco (AFP) Aug 10, 2009The Green Electronics Council on Monday went international with a registry that shows how computers and monitors measure up when it comes to being Earth-friendly. Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) registry that gives green ratings to computer desktops, laptops, and monitors has been localized for 40 countries. "It is an exciting development," said EPEAT executive ... more European fine sends Intel into the red 
New York (AFP) July 14, 2009Intel posted a second-quarter net loss on Tuesday as a record fine by European Commission antitrust regulators sent the US computer chip giant into the red. Intel reported a net loss of 398 million dollars for the April-June period after being hit with a 1.45-billion-dollar fine in May for allegedly abusing its stranglehold on the semiconductor market to crush its main rival, AMD. Intel ... more A Billion Year Ultra-Dense Memory Chip 
Berkeley CA (SPX) Jun 05, 2009Berkeley Lab researchers have created a unique ultra-high density memory storage medium that can preserve digital data for a billion years.When it comes to data storage, density and durability have always moved in opposite directions - the greater the density the shorter the durability. For example, information carved in stone is not dense but can last thousands of years, whereas ... more |
