An article on Intels roadmap for SSD shows theyre going for 600GB tops in their Postville SSD design, using a 34nm process… and sticking to MLC vs SLC. First off is a refresh to the high performance X25-M range of SSDs. Currently available in 80GB and 160GB models, these will be replaced by a new […]
The HP Labs team continues to experiment and refine their TiO2 fabrication techniques… Nanoletters has a new paper out by Qiangfei Xia, J. Joshua Yang, Wei Wu, Xuema Li and R. Stanley Williams on fabricating TiO2 crosspoint memristor arrays using selfaligned one step nanoimprint lithography: [the] process simultaneously patterns the bottom electrode, switching material film […]
A new paper in Nature: Nanotechnology titled “Spectroscopy of few-electron single-crystal silicon quantum dots” shows the result of a 4nm fabrication utilizing phosphorous/silicon replacement in modeling a seven atom transistor: “The quantum dot is defined by atomically abrupt changes in the density of phosphorus dopant atoms, and the resulting confinement produces novel effects associated with […]
A new paper from IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON VERY LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION (VLSI) SYSTEMS, VOL.X, NO.X, 201X titled “Memristor MOS Content Addressable Memory (MCAM): Hybrid Architecture for Future High Performance Search Engines” details the results of recent simulation matrices run on MCAM memristor models using a behavioral modeling approach; results on low power consumption in memory […]
Going even more Nano than Nano allows, the DZero project at the Fermilab Tevatron has found a slight statistical variation in favor of matter over antimatter, showing even more evidence pointing towards CP Violation: Sifting data from collisions of protons and antiprotons at Fermilab’s Tevatron, which until last winter was the most powerful particle accelerator […]
elLoka, a design company in India is promoting the release of an ultra-small, low power, 5 watt “home computer”, claiming its the first such product to be completely designed and manufactured in India. First or not, 5 watts or not, its still a great push towards really, really thin client computing: the design looks like […]
Emerging technology provides a unique opportunity to introduce science within education. The development of Memristors, the fourth passive component type after resistors, capacitors and inductors, along with other Solid State memory devices, takes us one step further to creating cheap, powerful, distributed solutions for sensing and processing.
