Scientists report that they have built a living “minimal cell” with a genome stripped down to its barest essentials – and a computer model of the cell that mirrors its behavior. By refining and testing their model, the scientists say they are developing a system that can predict how changes to the genomes, living conditions …

Two-dimensional material-based transistors are being extensively investigated for CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) technology extension; nevertheless, downscaling appears to be challenging owing to high metal-semiconductor contact resistance. Two-dimensional (2D) nano-materials could be a replacement for conventional CMOS semiconductors for high-speed integrated circuits and very low power usage. CMOS is reaching the physical limits of about …
IBM and Samsung Electronics jointly announced a breakthrough in semiconductor design utilizing a new vertical transistor architecture that demonstrates a path to scaling beyond nanosheet, and has the potential to reduce energy usage by 85 percent compared to a scaled fin field-effect transistor (finFET). This collaborative approach to innovation makes the Albany Nanotech Complex a …
A friend of mine, Angie Apperson, asked on Linkedin Who are on your list of most admired female leaders in tech? Here is my list of my five most admired female leaders in Technology and innovation. Lisa Su Lisa Su. CEO of AMD. When Lisa Su became CEO of Advanced Micro Devices in 2014, AMD …
Apple announced its new Macbook Pro’s and they have increased the power and efficiency of the M1 chip and GPU. The M1 Max will have 70% more CPU performance and double the GPU performance over the already leading M1 chip. The performance per watt blows away the competing chips. If you are going to spend …
Carbon nanotubes can be five times as energy efficient and five times faster than silicon. engineers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison can align the nanotubes for computer chips by turning them into 2D liquid crystals. They can coat an entire 4-inch wafer with a uniform array of highly aligned carbon nanotubes in 40 seconds. A …
New materials may also enable entirely new paradigms for individual chip components and their overall design. One long-promised advance is the ferroelectric field-effect transistor, or FE-FET. Such devices could switch states rapidly enough to perform computation, but also be able to hold those states without being powered, enabling them to function as long-term memory storage. …
Content management is becoming increasingly important as organizations invest more heavily in both internal and external content. Broadly defined, content management refers to all the processes, systems, and workflows associated with creating, organizing, distributing, and securing content within an organization. Organizations are beginning to realize that content management cannot exist as a mere afterthought; it …
Dr James Knight and Prof Thomas Nowotny from the University of Sussex’s School of Engineering and Informatics used the latest Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) to give a single desktop PC the capacity to simulate brain models of almost unlimited size. This work will make large brain simulations accessible to researchers with tiny budgets. The research …
