Are We Getting Enough Capabilities with Self Assembly, Directed Assembly and Pick And Place to Kluge together Molecular Manufacturing ?

We are looking at faster computing developments based on recent breakthroughs. There are now several ways that we can get computing down to 1-2 nanometer feature or element size. These manufacturing methods could be scaled up and delivering computer hardware products within 4-10 years. Many thought that computer hardware might permanently stall at 10-20 nanometer …

Room Temperature Single Atom Quantum Dot in Depth

Four atomic quantum dots are coupled to form a “cell” for containing electrons. The cell is filled with just two electrons. Control charges are placed along a diagonal to direct the two electrons to reside at just two of the four quantum dots comprising the cell. This new level of control of electrons points to …

Details on the Self Assembled Memory, Refinement can Boost Density to 100 terabits per Square Inch

An overhead view (bottom) shows cylindrical block-coploymer structures, consisting of a central polymer (blue) linked to a surrounding polymer (red). An atomic-force microscope image (center), shows the densely packed cylinders, dark in the center, with the varying height of the surface beneath them visible as alternating lighter and darker stripes. The side view diagram (top) …

Iran has enough uranium ‘to build a nuclear bomb’

The International Atomic Energy Agency said that Iran now has amassed a stockpile totaling one ton of uranium which could easily be made into weapons-grade material with further purification. In their first assessment of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme since Barack Obama became US president, atomic inspectors disclosed that Tehran’s leaders understated by a third …

Accelerating Learning and Surge In Computing Power and Memory

Memory and transistors appears to be in for an accelerated 1000 fold reduction to 2 to 3 nanometer sizes. The previously noted shrinking to 10 terabit/inch**2 self assembled magnetic memory, which should get further enhanced to 100 terabit/inch**2. There is also smaller The smallest features in current silicon transistors are 45 nanometres in size, but …

Self-Assembled Memory 10 terabits per inch – 250 DVDs in Disk the Size of a Quarter

The sawtooth ridges formed by cutting and heating a sapphire crystal serves to guide the self-assembly of nanoscale elements into an ordered pattern over arbitrarily large surfaces. Researchers say the new, easy-to-implement technique may transform the data storage industry. The density achievable with the technology we’ve developed could potentially enable the contents of 250 DVDs …
