Can Project Glass Lead To Augmented Reality Contact Lenses?

Now that Google has spread its cards on the table and we know well how awesome and cutting-edge Google glasses are, things are already heating up as to the sheer possibilities this may lead to. For instance, now that we do know that augmented reality glasses are very real and practical, could it be that eventually we get to have something like augmented reality contact lenses, taking things to an even micro level?

Researchers New Developed Device Can Measure Nanopores With Less Error

Scientists are continuously working on nanotechnology. Recently, they have designed a custom integrated circuit using commercial semiconductor technology. Researchers have developed a device that can not only measure nanopores with less error than commercial instruments but also it can see single molecules passing through the pore in only 1 microsecond. A team of researchers at Columbia Engineering has figured out a way to measure nanopores.

IBM Scientists Are Measuring Heat Emitted From Erasing A Single Bit Of Information

IBM manufactures and sells computer hardware and software. It offers infrastructure, hosting and consulting services in areas ranging from mainframe computers to nanotechnology. As of December 2011, IBM was the third-largest publicly traded technology company in the world by market capitalization. Now, IBM Scientists are trying to measure heat which is emitted while erasing a single bit information.

Nanowire Forests Using Sunlight To Split Water

Nanotechnology has been vast improved in fuel cell technology in the past few years. At present, electrical engineers from University of California, San Diego, are trying to build a forest of tiny nanowire trees in order to capture solar energy easily without using fossil fuels and harvest it for hydrogen fuel generation. It means, Nano-trees will harvest the sun’s energy to turn water into hydrogen fuel.

Moore’s Law Can Be Broken Using A Single Atom Transistor

It makes a good story to read of miraculous happenings and scientific innovations that are impossible almost to being science-fiction, but what has been done by the scientists regarding breaking Moore’s Law is not a scientific imagination, but a real technological breakthrough. The rebellious saying that goes laws are meant to be broken has come true this time for the domain of science, which holds a very rigid structure of knowledge and approach upon which are built theories, laws and ideas.

OLED Display Developed With Built-in Photovoltaic Cells

Battery life has been a major concern for smartphone users. It can decide the fate of the success of a device. And as we move forward with more technological advancements, the battery-life expectations of the consumers have also increased. In a research by a team at London Centre of Nanotechnology, the researchers have created a prototype which makes use of the light emitted by an OLED display and then converts it so that it can be utilized by a device’s battery. This is a major break-through in technology.

New Ultra-pure Material Could Have Applications In Quantum Computing

Purdue professors Michael Manfra and Gabor Csathy stand next to the high-mobility gallium-arsenide molecular beam epitaxy system at the Birck Nanotechnology Center and this new ultra-pure material lets electrons discover each other on the quantum dance floor. The ultra-pure material traps electrons between its layers and stops them bouncing around like drunken fools at the high school prom and start performing correlated motions that are essential for quantum computing……………….

IBM Developed Instantaneous Memory

IBM believes a new way of encoding the bits in phase-change memory will it reliable enough for use in servers and developed a programming trick that makes it possible to more reliably store large amounts of data using a promising new technology called phase-change memory. It means scientists are one step closer to creating a universal memory chip that is fast, permanent, and has lots of capacity and these multi-bit phase-change memory chips could transform enterprise computing and storage by around 2016…………
