Ads : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News   Computer Software Innovative Silicon, Inc. (ISi), developer of the Z-RAM zero-capacitor, floating body (FB) memory technology, today announced two major breakthroughs to its Z-RAM technology. Many technologies have sought to displace DRAM as the industry’s low-cost RAM solution, yet they have failed because they cannot credibly replace DRAM. Some …
Burt Rutan explains his plans to create mass tourist travel in space. People used to say that the Internet was all fun and games; it took years for it to become everything. Burt Rutan thinks the same will happen with space travel. The video is ten minutes long. In the interview, the legendary aircraft designer …

Arxiv 21 page pdf – work by Japan Riken and University of Michigan – Remarkable progress towards realizing quantum computation has been achieved using natural and artificial atoms. On the one hand, natural atoms (such as neutral atoms and ions) have long coherence times, and could be stored in large arrays, providing ideal “quantum memories”. …
Gecko Systems is making elder care robots and mobile service robots (MSR) for other applications They have a CareBot MSR that monitors the carereceiver. Elderly people in nursing homes receive attention from nurses an average of nine minutes per day. These places are expensive ($45,000 to $60,000 per year) and not always easy or convenient …
EEtimes reports Intel Corp. and Micron Technology Inc. have regained the process technology lead in NAND flash, by rolling out the first in a family of 25-nm devices. The first 25-nm NAND device is a multi-level-cell (MLC), 8-GB device, which is said to reduce IC count by 50 percent over previous products. With the device, …
Nature Nanotechnology – Nanoscale chemical mapping using three-dimensional adiabatic compression of surface plasmon polaritons The fields of plasmonics, Raman spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy have recently undergone considerable development, but independently of one another. By combining these techniques, a range of complementary information could be simultaneously obtained at a single molecule level. Here, we report …
Dwave Systems is trying to build a quantum computer company.There is controversy about whether Dwave has sufficient quantumness in their qubits. Most of Dwave System insights into making a company based on groundbreaking technology still applies regardless of whether Dwave technology succeeds. These insights would apply to molecular nanotechnology and artificial general intelligence. Phase I …
