ICube is a fabless semiconductor company developing semiconductor System-On-Chip (SOC) solutions based on our Harmony Unified Processor Technology, genuinely integrating two different processor types: a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU), into one unified core. Founded by Silicon Valley veterans (Simon Moy, CTO was Principal Engineer at NVIDIA and Fred Chow, …
MIT engineers have developed a nanoscale biological coating that can halt bleeding nearly instantaneously, an advance that could dramatically improve survival rates for soldiers injured in battle. The researchers, led by Paula Hammond and funded by MIT’s Institute of Soldier Nanotechnologies and a Denmark-based company, Ferrosan Medical Devices A/S, created a spray coating that includes …
The D-Wave One Quantum Computer: Technology and Applications (30 pages) Dwave System’s CTO Geordie Rose gave a presentation at SC11. Previously Dwave had sold a 128 qubit system and services for $10 million It appears from the chart Dwave will have a 256 qubit by mid-2012 and a 512 qubit by the end of 2012. …

Microsoft offers a glimpse into what they see as the future of productivity in 2016-2021. (H/T KurzweilAI) All of the ideas in the video are based on real technology. Some of the capabilities, such as speech recognition, real time collaboration and data visualization already exist today. Others are not yet available in specific products, but …
Technology Review – Japanese scientists have built a cellular automaton from individual molecules that carries out huge numbers of calculations in parallel They’ve laid down 300 DDQ molecules on a gold substrate, setting them up as a cellular automaton. More impressive still, they’ve then initialised the system so that it “calculates” the way heat diffuses …
It is commonly believed that the fundamental limit to MOSFET feature-size scaling is direct source-drain tunneling. We may hit this limitation around the 5nm node. For CMOS logic transistors, when we approach the direct source-drain tunneling limit, we could move to recessed channel devices and use channel lengths longer than the minimum feature size. This …
Biomicrofluidics – Embryonic stem cell bioprinting for uniform and controlled size embryoid body formation Two main goals of bio-inkjet printers is to grow new body parts for organ transplants or tissues for making regenerative medicine repairs. Making body parts, organs or tissues begin with a printed mass of embryonic stem cells. Getting the embroid body …

Intel’s CEO Paul Otellini attracted some interest during the April 19, 2011 earnings conference call when he told analysts that the next generation of 22 nanometer processors will feature a “revolutionary” process technology. Details will be revealed at the Intel analyst day event in late May, 2011. Intel highlighted the fact that it has dramatically …
Life expectancy in Europe keeps increasing despite the obesity epidemic, with people in Britain reaching an older age than those living in the US, according to an analysis of trends over the last 40 years Despite spending more per capita on health care than any other country in the world, the US is at the …
