Nanotech-enabled Products Face Numerous Obstacles on the Way to Market
It is with great pleasure I can report that I read a really first-rate article on nanotechnology from the mainstream press. It comes from the Irish Times and is based around an interview with Prof Peter Dobson of Oxford University, who had been in Ireland in early February for the Nanoweek conference. I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Dobson ... Read More »
Nanotechnology may hold key to averting impending computer bottlenecks
PALO ALTO, CALIF. — Hewlett-Packard researchers have proposed a fundamental rethinking of the modern computer for the coming era of nanoelectronics — a marriage of memory and computing power that could drastically limit the energy used by computers. Today, the microprocessor is in the centre of the computing universe, and information is moved, at heavy energy cost, first to be ... Read More »
