"Scientists of Very Small Draw Disciplines Together"
A recent three-day conference in Los Angeles was a rallying point
for scientists and other advocates who wish to merge the
disciplines of nanotechnology, biotechnology, information
technology, and cognitive research into a single discipline ...

"'Sticky' DNA Crystals Promise New Way to Process Information"
Researchers at the University of Minnesota have succeeded in
forming a regularly structured DNA crystal with gold
nanoparticles attached. Electrical engineering professor Richard
Kiehl, who leads the project, says it is significant because ...

"Data Storage Leap Could Produce Film Library on a Disk"
A team of Washington University researchers led by experimental
physics professor Stuart Solin report that they have created a
prototype disk drive with at least 40 times the storage capacity
of conventional models, a breakthrough that could pave the way ...

"Tiny Whiskers Make Huge Memory Storage"
It may be possible to squeeze more information into hard drives
thanks to a magnetic memory breakthrough from State University of
New York in Buffalo researcher Harsh Chopra. Chopra and
physicist Susan Hua have reportedly developed extremely small ...

"Physicists Teleport Quantum Bits Over Long Distance"
Teleportation was considered unfeasible because it flies against
the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics, which states that
precisely replicating a tiny particle is an impossibility, since
such a particle can be destroyed simply by measuring it. ...

"Hot Off the Press"
Organic electronics promise to allow low-cost, flexible circuits
that could add intelligence to everyday items, but the technology
still has some hitches before widescale commercial production is
possible. Researchers have touted the ability to deposit ...
