Advance by chemists may lead to better displays on laptop computers, cell phones
09-17-2007 · EurekAlert!UCLA chemists working at the nanoscale have developed a new, inexpensive means of forcing luminescent polymers to give off polarized light and of confining that light to produce polymer-based lasers. The research could lead to a brighter polarized light source for LEDs in laptop computers, cell phones and other consumer electronics devices.

- UD researchers put 'spin' in silicon, advance new age of electronics
05-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
Electrical engineers from the University of Delaware and Cambridge NanoTech have demonstrated for the first time how the spin properties of electrons in silicon -- the world's most dominant semiconductor, used in electronics ranging from computers to cell phones -- can be measured and controlled.The discovery could dramatically advance the nascent field of spintronics, which focuses on harnessing the magnet-like "spin" property of electrons instead of solely their charge to create exponentially faster, more powerful electronics such as quantum computers.

- Researchers double cell phone memory through software alone
09-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Computer engineers at Northwestern University and NEC Laboratories America, Inc. are the first to do what many thought impossible -- they have developed technology that doubles the usable memory on cell phones and other embedded systems without any changes to hardware or applications. The improvement was made in the operating system software alone. This innovation is featured in millions of new NEC-manufactured smartphones that first hit shelves in Japan this summer.

- MIT demonstrates wireless power transfer
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Imagine a future in which wireless power transfer is feasible: cell phones, household robots, mp3 players, laptop computers, and other portable electronics capable of charging themselves without ever being plugged in, freeing us from that final, ubiquitous power wire. Some of these devices might not even need their bulky batteries to operate. Now an MIT team has experimentally demonstrated an important step toward accomplishing this vision of the future.

- UCLA, Italian chemists move closer to solving Lou Gehrig's disease mystery
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Chemists from UCLA and the University of Florence in Italy may have solved an important mystery about a protein that plays a key role in a particular form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. If scientists can figure out why ALS patients do not have copper or zinc in the protein, that would be a major advance that could lead to treatment.
