For First Time Ever, Carbon Nanotube Transistors Have Outperformed Silicon
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: computing, nanotechnology
In an attempt to bring the next generation of computers to life, teams around the globe have been working with carbon nanotubes — one of the most conductive materials ever discovered. Now, for the first time ever, scientists made a transistor using carbon nanotubes that beats silicon.
For the first time, scientists have built a transistor out of carbon nanotubes that can run almost twice as fast as its silicon counterparts.

We Might Be Getting Closer To “Immortality” Through Medical Nanotechnology
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: biotech/medical, computing, health, life extension, nanotechnology, neuroscience, Peter Diamandis
No shock to me.
Diamandis claimed that we are gearing towards a future possible of “interface mind-machine, where in human brain’s consciousness could be uploaded to computer and then transferred to a new body—probably a cultured in the lab. He estimates that it will just take 20–30 years to be realized.
The reality of extended life longevity to almost immortality is actually not too hard to believe these days. After all science and technology never failed to amuse us to make the once impossible possible.

How It Works – DARPA’s Amazing LiquidPiston X Engine!
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, mobile phones
A LiquidPiston X engine.
DARPA made this dream a reality, as they have succeeded in manufacturing an engine of just 1.8 kilograms with dimensions of a 5-inch smartphone, but the most attractive of all is the fact that you do not need pistons or oil for operation.

Google’s Quantum Computer May be Superior to Conventional Computers by 2018
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, quantum physics
Insiders indicate that Google may be nearing its goal of “quantum supremacy,” creating a computer that can outperform classical computers (at least in some tasks) by the end of next year.
If there’s one thing that’s painfully clear, its that classical computing tech is nearing its limit. Many have predicted the end of Moore’s law, and they are looking at the next step in the computing world: quantum computers.
And new reports assert that we may be on the verge of a breakthrough.

Scientists need your help to build a quantum computer
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, entertainment, quantum physics
If anyone is interested in being part of computing history; do we have a program for you. Called the “The Alice Experiment”; this experiment will soon be open to the public, where you can take part in the quantum physics experiment simply by playing an online video game.
If you have always dreamed of helping out with a quantum physics experiment, now is you chance. And all you need to do is play a video game.

KryptAll COMBATS QUANTUM COMPUTING
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, quantum physics
“KryptAll COMBATS QUANTUM COMPUTING” — The problem is that it will not be available until 2021 to combat hackers who have access to QC. And, lets not forget that 2 weeks ago China has proven they have Quantum communications along with their own work on QC in general.

Discovery creates future opportunity in quantum computing
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, quantum physics, solar power, sustainability
Scientists at the Energy Department’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) discovered a use for perovskites that runs counter to the intended usage of the hybrid organic-inorganic material.
Considerable research at NREL and elsewhere has been conducted into the use of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites as a solar cell. Perovskite systems have been shown to be highly efficient at converting sunlight to electricity. Experimenting on a lead-halide perovskite, NREL researchers found evidence the material could have great potential for optoelectronic applications beyond photovoltaics, including in the field of quantum computers.
Today, Nature Communications published the research, Large Polarization-Dependent Exciton Optical Stark Effect in Lead Iodide Perovskites. Authors of the paper are Ye Yang, Mengjin Yang, Kai Zhu, Justin Johnson, Joseph Berry, Jao van de Lagemaat, and Matthew Beard.

These Nanobots Can Repair Circuits All by Themselves
Posted by Shailesh Prasad in categories: computing, nanotechnology, physics, robotics/AI
A new technique uses the curious physical laws of the nano-scale itself to “program” nanobots. Welcome to the future of nanotechnology.
Nanorobotics has long been touted as one of the most promising “miracle technologies” of the future. But one of the fundamental problems with such extreme miniaturization is how to “program” nanobots—after all, you can’t very well shrink computer circuitry to fit within nanometer-scale technology.
