Instead of a traditional technique used in the NAND memory found in many portable devices, the new process would write and help read data using microscopic cantilevers with raised tips that are less than 10 nanometers across; by pressing a grid of these tips aga... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/23/nanochip.100gb.chips/ Wed, 23 Jan 2008 18:35:00 GMT Stanford tech offers 10X jump in battery life http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/19/stanford.nanowire.battery/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/stanfordnanowires.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A new nanotechnology development should produce a major increase in the power available from lithium-ion battery technology, according to a report from Stanford University. While current batteries are limited to holding a relatively small amount of lithium by the need to use carbon for the anode that supplies the battery's current, the new technique developed by assistant professor Yi Cui instead... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/19/stanford.nanowire.battery/ Wed, 19 Dec 2007 21:05:00 GMT IBM optics promise many-core super CPU http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/06/ibm.optical.breakthrough/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/ibmopticaltech.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />IBM's Silicon Photonics research group today published news of what it believes is a major breakthrough in increasing processor performance with multi-core processors. Instead of relying on typical copper wire connections between cores, the New York state-based firm has developed a unit it refers to as an electro-optic modulator. The device uses nanotechnology and a small laser to convert elec... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/06/ibm.optical.breakthrough/ Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:40:00 GMT
