Physicists Build Basic Quantum Computing Circuit Madison WI (SPX) Mar 01, 2010
Exerting delicate control over a pair of atoms within a mere seven-millionths-of-a-second window of opportunity, physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison created an atomic circuit that may help quantum computing become a reality.
Quantum computing represents a new paradigm in information processing that may complement classical computers. Much of the dizzying rate of increase in t ... read moreThe sound of silence: an end to noisy communications
Hanover, Germany (AFP) March 2, 2010It has happened to almost everyone. You are sitting on a train or a bus and someone right next to you is annoyingly shouting into his or her mobile phone. But those days could soon be past with "silent sounds", a new technology unveiled at the CeBIT fair on Tuesday that transforms lip movements into a computer-generated voice for the listener at the other end of the phone. The device, de ... more

Intel, IBM roll out new chips for computer networks
San Francisco (AFP) Feb 8, 2010US technology titans IBM and Intel on Monday rolled out powerful new computer chips designed for businesses continually demanding more from networks and data centers. Intel introduced an Itanium processor 9300 series developed under the code name "Tukwila" that it touts as delivering twice the performance of prior generation chips. The 9300 series features two billion transistors per chi ... more Watching Crystals Grow May Lead To Faster Electronic Devices
Washington DC (SPX) Jan 27, 2010The 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 ... more Taiwan 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, 2010Wrong-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 |
