Ads : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Last week, IBM, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) signed a four-year collaborative project called CMOSAIC to understand how the latest chip cooling techniques can support a 3D chip architecture. Unlike current processors, the CMOSAIC project considers a …
Ads : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Jan. 12, 2010, NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE, spotted its first never-before-seen near-Earth asteroid, the first of hundreds it is expected to find during its mission to map the whole sky in infrared light. There is no danger of the newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth. …
EETimes looks at direct write lithography with electron beam machines * Based on the length of time it has historically taken for each new lithography technology to move from proof-of-concept to production, e-beam direct-write lithography tools will be available no sooner than 2015, according to Kurt Ronse, lithography department director at nanoelectronics research center IMEC …
EEtimes reports the University of California at Berkeley provided an update on a technology called plasmonic nano-lithography–based on a flying lens. U.C. Berkeley has devised a tool with four and six lenses. The goal is to devise a tool with 10,000 lenses and a throughput of 60 wafers an hour. In theory, it will make …
Public Access TV Show Future Talk has an episode on Nanotechnology and it’s future applications Host Martin Wasserman interviews technology forecaster and research director of the Lifeboat Foundation Brian Wang, and managing partner of Cleantech Circle and co-founder of the MIT-Stanford-Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum Wasiq Bokhari. The show is about 30 minutes long and was a …
The upper panel shows the topographical measurement of a diindenoperylene film. Lighter shades stand for higher areas, darker ones for lower areas. In the lower panel the topographical and the optical measurements are superimposed – the latter one in the red and yellow colour range; the brighter the colour, the higher the luminescence intensity.

EEtimes reports on an Intel Facility in Ireland that is researching on pushing lithography and self assembly for chip manufacturing on the 11 nanometer and smaller nodes. Intel has an advanced research facility in Ireland that is looking 5-10 years out. Much of Intel’s nanotech research is done with the Center for Research on Adaptive …
The January issue of the premier scientific magazine Nature Photonics publishes an ultra-small and fast, electrically pumped all-optical memory on a silicon chip with record low power consumption. This result achieved by imec and its associated laboratory INTEC at the Ghent University, paves the way for optical packet switching with drastically reduced overall power consumption …
The week 6 weekend domestic box office for Avatar was $36 million. This was a 16% drop from the previous weekends $42 million. The foreign markets do not report until tomorrow, but should have about $100-120 million. The rest of the week should probably have a little over $3 million per day domestically.
