Photonic Nanojet-Enabled Optical Data Storage

This paper shows that their recently reported microwave photonic jet technique for detection of deeply sub wavelength pits in a metal substrate can be extended to optical wavelengths for purposes of high-density data storage. Three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain computational solutions of Maxwell's equations are used to optimize the photonic nanojet and...

A pharmacy in a nanotechnology-based thin film

MIT researchers have developed a new implantable device to improve our health. This nanoscale thin-film coating can deliver controlled drug doses to specific targets, acting as a 'micro pharmacy' inside our bodies. It could be used to deliver drugs for cancer, epilepsy, diabetes and other diseases. This film, which is...

Will nanogenerators replace batteries?

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have built prototypes of a nanogenerator providing continuous electrical power by "harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves, mechanical vibration or blood flow." According to the scientists, the prototype could produce as much as 4 watts per cubic centimeter. This...

Wired Geometric Routing

Routing substrates for overlay networks are an important building block for large distributed applications. Many existing substrates are based on a random identifier space and therefore do not respect node locality when routing data. This can lead to lower performance for locality-sensitive applications, such as web caching, distributed gaming, and...

3-D flexible computer chips

Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have isolated a single-crystal film of semiconductor from the substrate on which it is built. Then they transferred this very thin film -- 200 nanometers thick -- on plastic. Both sides of the film can host active components and several layers can be stacked,...

OLED notebooks to ship by late 2010, Samsung says

And the price??Yeah OLED is amazing, but the price is crazy. These notebooks will probably cost double or triple what the same notebook would cost with LED-backlit LCD. Then again, that would just put it in the same price range as the equivalent Apple notebook. (Oh yes, he said it!)like...
