Gaming the Future: The Book!

Month: October 2002

Nanotechnology Industry Exchanges

from the Potential-applications-of-MEMS-and-NEMS dept.
Antonio Correia writes "Since July 2002, NEXUS and PHANTOMS have jointly started a concerted action aimed at bridging micro and nanotechnologies. …. The intention is to enable a better understanding of the future potential of nanotechnology in the context of microsystems-driven applications." For more information

Molecular electronics research

from the more-than-one-way-to-molecular-chips dept.
Despite Fraud at Bell Labs, Chip Research Barrels Ahead, an Oct. 1 New York Times article, gives a snapshot of the state of atomic and molecular-scale electronic circuit research in the wake of revelations that a few breakthroughs were falsified by one nanoelectronics researcher.

Reading single-atom bits

from the very-small-but-very-slow dept.
Gina Miller writes "A Sept. 3 press release from the University of Wisconsin at Madison Scientists develop atomic-scale memory reports that scientists have been able to read and write at room temperature to a memory that uses a single atom to store a bit. Silicon atoms are dispersed on a self-assembled surface of gold atoms so that each silicon atom fits into a pocket formed by 20 surrounding gold atoms. An STM tip is used to remove specific silicon atoms to write to the memory. Although the storage density is very high, writing with an STM tip is very slow."
