New nanowires could lead to smaller devices

Researchers from the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, Purdue University and IBM have succeeded in growing silicon-germanium semiconducting nanowires that could result in the next generation of ever-smaller electronic devices. They measure between a few tens to a few hundreds of nanometers in diameter and can be as large as a few millimeters, and have taught researchers the physics involved in the growing of nanowires….

    On the list of dangerous humanoid bots DARwIn is well topped by the bow-happy iCub . Still -- we do not trust this thing one iota. While we have not seen it pick up any weaponry just yet, our friends to the north are teaching it certainly one of man's most notoriously violent sports: hockey. Researchers on the University of Manitoba have managed to coach the previous RoboCup … »

    It is the end of another era at NASA, although this one was perhaps more inevitable than others. Chief Information Officer Linda Cureton announced in a blog post over the weekend that the agency's last mainframe computer was shut down this month, marking an end to decades of room-filling computers. Needless to say, that last mainframe was considerably newer than that pictured above.… »
