Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Here’s an interesting take on green data centers: servers that use thermoelectrics to turn their own waste heat into power. Applied Methodologies Inc. has been working on the concept since 2007, and recently told Data Center Knowledge that it’s seeking funding — and an eventual partnership with a major server manufacturer — to bring its prototype Thermoelectric Generation System design ...

Taking full advantage of quantum mechanics would allow future computers to solve problems that would take longer than the lifetime of the universe on a normal computer. This potential motivates the field of ‘quantum computing’, where scientists and engineers are searching for the platform which silicon provides for the microelectronics and conventional computing of today. A UK-USA team of scientists ... Read More »
