- Graphene nanoelectronics: Making tomorrow's computers from a pencil trace
07-23-2007 · EurekAlert!
A key discovery at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute could help advance the role of graphene as a possible heir to copper and silicon in nanoelectronics. Saroj Nayak, an associate physics professor, has worked for two years to determine how graphene's extremely efficient conductive properties can be exploited for use in future nanoelectronics. After running dozens of robust computer simulations, he has demonstrated for the first time that the length, as well as the width, of graphene directly impacts the material's conduction properties.

- Wireless energy transfer can potentially recharge laptops, cell phones without cords
11-14-2006 · EurekAlert!
Recharging your laptop computer -- and also your cell phone and a variety of other gadgets -- might one day be doable in the same convenient way many people now surf the Web: wirelessly. A Massachusetts Institute of Technology team will present research on the physics of electromagnetic fields, showing how wireless energy could power future gadgets. The MIT team is also working on demonstrating the technology in practice.

- MIT: Computer vision may not be as good as thought
01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
For years, scientists have been trying to teach computers how to see like humans, and recent research has seemed to show computers making progress in recognizing visual objects. A new MIT study, however, cautions that this apparent success may be misleading because the tests being used are inadvertently stacked in favor of computers.

- With computers, astronomers show predicted present day distribution of elusive first stars
12-11-2006 · EurekAlert!
With the help of enormous computer simulations, astronomers have now shown that the first generation of stars -- which have never been observed by scientists -- should be distributed evenly throughout our galaxy, deepening the long-standing mystery about these missing stellar ancestors. The results are published in this week's issue of the Astrophysical Journal.

- Expressive robot computers
03-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine if your computer could tune into the mood you're in, tilting its screen to one side when you look gloomy or swing cheerfully upwards when you perk up. RoCo is the world's first expressive computer developed by MIT in the US, which can detect when the user moves and adjust its posture accordingly.

- Northwestern to expose most deadly infectious diseases in 3-D
10-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
The unearthly creature looks like something out of a sci-fi flick, but the horror is real. This 3-D image that seems to leap out of the computer screen into the lab is a protein from the deadly antrax bacteria. Northwestern University is directing a $31 national project to map proteins in 3-D from the most deadly infectious diseases. This fresh view will help scientists design new drugs to disable these diseases.

- Researchers at the University of the Basque Country propose a simple and economic qbit structure
05-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
The research team from the Physics of Materials group at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the UPV/EHU Mixed Centre Physics of Materials group and the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF), led by Бngel Rubio, has just published a new article in the prestigious Physical Review Letters journal, one of the most important in the field of physics. The piece proposes new annular structures (quantum rings) to define a qbit, i.e. the unit of information of quantum computers.
