Sharply Tuned Nanostrings Work At Room Temperature

Sharply Tuned Nanostrings Work At Room Temperature Using a fast, low-cost fabrication technique that allows inexpensive testing of a wide variety of materials, Cornell researchers have come up with nanoscale resonators — tiny vibrating strings — with the highest quality factor so far obtainable at room temperature for devices so small. The work is another… Continue reading Sharply Tuned Nanostrings Work At Room Temperature

Hot prospects for cooler chips

Hot prospects for cooler chips The difficulty of keeping computer chips cool is one of the most immediate challenges for the IT industry. Researchers at IBMs Zurich lab are using nano-scale technologies to make self-contained water-cooling systems that are much smaller and can handle much higher power densities than the air-cooled copper heatsinks in use… Continue reading Hot prospects for cooler chips

Nano-projector turns phone into a cinema

Nano-projector turns phone into a cinema A tiny colour projector designed to be used with mobile phones, handheld devices and PDAs has successfully passed its first batch of tests. Israel-based Explay says its nano-projector engine is a hundred times smaller and more efficient than rival technology. The projector, little larger than a matchbox, will take… Continue reading Nano-projector turns phone into a cinema
