This has previously been observed only at extremely low temperatures, and the achievement brings spintronic devices using silicon as a semiconductor a step closer. http://www.physorg.com/news178526124.html Physics Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:36:59 EST news178526124 (PhysOrg.com) -- A new generation of ultrasmall transistors and more powerful computer chips using tiny structures called semiconducting nanowires are closer to reality after a key discovery by researchers at IBM, Purdue University and the University of California at Los Angeles. http://www.physorg.com/news178459486.html Nanotechnology Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:00:05 EST news178459486 Forget the Transformers and Astroboy: Japan's latest robots don't save the world -- they cook snacks, play with your kids, model clothes, and search for disaster victims. http://www.physorg.com/news178439624.html Electronics Thu, 26 Nov 2009 06:34:40 EST news178439624 (AP) -- U.S. senators are pressuring European antitrust regulators to hurry their investigation of Oracle Corp.'s proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems Inc., citing Sun's "precarious" financial condition and fears about more layoffs at the struggling computing company. http://www.physorg.com/news178314527.html Technology Tue, 24 Nov 2009 21:10:03 EST news178314527 (PhysOrg.com) -- Computer chips that transmit data with light instead of electricity consume much less power than conventional chips, but so far, they've remained laboratory curiosities. Professors Vladimir Stojanović and Rajeev Ram and their colleagues in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics and Microsystems Technology Laboratory hope to change that, by designing optical chips that can be built using ordinary chip-manufacturing processes. http://www.physorg.com/news178298113.html Technology Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:15:49 EST news178298113 (AP) -- Two men accused of the rare charge of economic espionage against the U.S. have been acquitted on two counts, but they could face a retrial on three other counts on which a jury deadlocked. http://www.physorg.com/news178296343.html Technology Tue, 24 Nov 2009 15:00:01 EST news178296343 You can think of it as origami - very high-tech origami. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a technique for fabricating three-dimensional, single-crystalline silicon structures from thin films by coupling photolithography and a self-folding process driven by capillary interactions. http://www.physorg.com/news178212895.html Nanotechnology Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:10:13 EST news178212895 IBM scientists have created a one-step point-of-care-diagnostic test, based on an innovative silicon chip, that requires less sample volume, is significantly faster, portable, easy to use, and can test for many diseases, including one of world's leading causes of death, cardiovascular disease*. The results are so quick and accurate that a small sample of a patient's serum or blood, could be tested immediately following a heart attack, to enable the doctor to quickly take a course of action to help the patient survive. http://www.physorg.com/news177880059.html Chemistry Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:08:24 EST news177880059 Two-dimensional carbon layers, so-called graphenes, are regarded as a possible substitute for silicon in the semiconductor industry. The electronic properties of these layers can be varied by "building in" specific arrays of holes in their structure. Physicists at Empa, Switzerland, together with chemists from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Mainz, Germany, have, for the first time, succeeded in synthesizing a graphene-like porous polymer with atomic accuracy. http://www.physorg.com/news177871833.html Nanotechnology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:53:34 EST news177871833 Can Intel and Advanced Micro Devices, Silicon Valley's version of the long-squabbling Hatfields and McCoys, really get along? http://www.physorg.com/news177859569.html Technology Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:40:01 EST news177859569 Robert Goldman is a geek's geek, a Silicon Valley inventor who likes to know exactly how things work. http://www.physorg.com/news177788426.html Medicine & Health Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:41:50 EST news177788426
