Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software A promising building block for room-temperature quantum computing is the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center consists of a substitutional nitrogen atom and an adjacent vacancy in diamond can feature near-unity quantum efficiency, a homogeneous line width, and long electronic spin decoherence time at room-temperature. …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Using a heated atomic force microscope tip, researchers have drawn nanoscale conductive patterns on insulating graphene oxide. This simple trick to control graphene oxide’s conductivity could pave the way for etching electronic circuits into the carbon material, an important advance toward high-speed, low-power, and potentially cheaper …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Nanowerk reports that Australian researchers have created a quantum dot of just seven atoms that acts as a transistor. The Age reports that Michelle Simmons, co-author, said the achievement marked the first time scientists had been able to dictate the placement and behaviour of single atoms …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Sydney University demonstrated a photonic chip components and demonstration of terabit internet. The chip enables optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) and could increase the efficiency and capacity of current optical systems by processing communications optically, rather than electrically. By avoiding the usual electrical-optical-electrical conversion in fibre …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Dr. Yves Bellouard of the Department of Mechanical Engineering is coordinator of a new European project, Femtoprint, to be started this month. The goal is to design a convenient 3D laser printer that will print microstructures in glass. With this ‘femtoprinter’ the manufacture of microstructures would …
