One of the most innovative Technology of this year demonstrated to public was Wireless Power i.e. transmitting power without use of any type of wires.
This concept has already taken flight and is being used in commercial applications TED Talks and also in a Sony prototype. Imagine the world where all the wires just go off, all the clutter will be cleared. If you have no idea of this, watch this video first.
With Processor fabrication getting better and better every year at the pace of Moore’s law, a new research will Leap frog the innovation.
Moore’s Law predicts that the amount of memory that can fit on a given area of silicon, for a fixed cost doubles every 12-18 months. The limit of this prediction is being .. Read Further »
The researchers at HP have developed a new way to perform logic Operations, making it possible to fabricate much more advanced chips that would use memory devices in place of standard transistors. As per the research, an array of memristors (150 atoms wide) can perform both logic and storage operations.
The memristor is a device as fundamental as the resistor, inductor and capacitor, but is based on the relationship between flux and charge, rather than between voltage and charge.
Memristors retain memory states even when no current is being passed through them and they can be used not just as a memory device, but also to perform computations. That means computation could be performed on chips .. Read Further »
Bill Gates pointed it out at TED, that we need revolution in Energy, batteries more than anything else. He talked about building advanced Zero emission Nuclear reactors that would feed on today’s Uranium waste to power the world for decades.

Gordon Moore might not have thought that this day would come when his popular “Moore’s law” will see some serious irrelevance.
“number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit has doubled approximately every two years”
Over the years scientists and chip industry evangelists have argued that Moore’s law is still valid as we enter the era of Multi-core processors. But, the latest revelation from IBM can give the the Moore’s law a permanent backseat. IBM’s .. Read Further »
Since the time we first saw birth of transistor we have seen it reducing in size. It used to be couple of inches fabricated as vacuum tubes. These 62 years of evolution has brought them to size of 32 nm. But what comes now is something that every researcher dreamed of: A single-molecule transistor. This is hell small piece of electronics.
The transistor is basically benzene .. Read Further »
Computing had been limited by the problems limited by heat dissipation. It’s hard to make high-performing CPUs but much harder to dissipate the heat.Wataru Kobayashi at Waseda University in Japan and a few friends have built a rectifier that allows a heat current to travel in one direction but not the other.
For some time, it was believed that thermal .. Read Further »
Earlier, back in the 90s when I first dated the Internet, I found credit cards were easy to exploit. It was as easy as getting a software that auto-generates numbers that could be used to make purchase online. Thank god, those things no longer work, other wise it would have been chaos.
Well what you are about to read could be HARMFUL to us, again.
WARNING: Do not proceed if you intend to exploit this. The sole .. Read Further »
The pursuit to produce smaller and smaller microchips for everything from automobile systems to mobile communications devices has led IBM to turn to one of the very building blocks of life for help with the process—DNA molecules.
With chip makers such as IBM and Intel aiming to shrink the manufacturing process to 22 nanometers and smaller, the push is on to develop ways to improve performance and energy efficiency. Scientists with IBM Research and the California Institute of Technology are working on ways to use DNA molecules as the basis for building tiny circuit boards. As shown in these images from IBM Research, the DNA can be put into various shapes and used as a sort of scaffolding, where millions of nanotubes can be deposited onto the sticky DNA and then self-assemble into the precise patterns.
Intel said Thursday that it would acquire Wind River, which makes software for embedded devices, in a deal valued at $884 million. With the move Intel is making a move to diversify into software and away from its dependence on the PC and server markets.
The chip giant said in a statement that it will pay $11.50 a share in cash for Wind River, which closed at $8 on Wednesday.
The purchase is interesting on a few fronts:
