IBM builds 9 nanometer carbon nanotube transistor, puts silicon on notice
It’s not the smallest transistor on the market, however the boffins at IBM have constructed the tiniest carbon nanotube transistor thus far. It’s nine nanometers in size, making it one nanometer smaller than the presumed physical limit of silicon transistors. Plus, it consumes less …
US Navy explains basic mechanical principles of a hearth control computer — in 1953 (video)
Bits, bytes and silicon transistors? Boy, you’ve it good — back in 1953, state-of-the-art computers were fabricated from gears, sprockets, chains and cams, and we trusted them to accurately wreck lives with ginormous naval guns. In case you’re wondering how which can possibly work, you don’t should go far …
Adafruit’s Internet of factors Printer combines your love of data, receiptsLove staying connected and using excess paper? Adafruit's got your back with its latest project. The net of items (IoT) printer goes online via an Ethernet jack, printing up data on 2.5 inch wide receipt paper. You may print such things as Twitter feeds, news briefs or sports scores using its open source software. Putting the box together requires some soldering and an Arduino, but
SanDisk makes 128-gigabit flash chip, crams three bits per cell, takes afternoon offSanDisk has developed a chip that earns it membership within the exclusive 128-gigabit club . Not content with simply matching the Micron / Intel effort, SanDisk and its partner Toshiba claim their new memory uses 19- rather then 20-nanometer cells within the production process. Shrinking the dimensions is something, but SanDisk's new chips also use its X3 / three-bit technology.
