Specially Colored Nanomagnet Eggs Could Make Low-power Computer Memories

It may be a bit late for Easter but eggs have a valid reason to make news again. The scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed eggs that can be used as low-power computer memories in future. Actually these eggs are nanomagnets that have been given the shape of an egg. These are nickel-iron magnets created using electron-beam lithography. These egg-shaped nanomagnets have been developed as a part of NIST research to help developing magnetic data storage systems for future.

Graphene Optical Modulators Could Lead To Ultrafast Communications

Researchers at the University of Berkley have made a revolutionary breakthrough that if successful will herald a new era in digital communication technology.

Under the aegis of Dr. Xiang Zhang, director National Science Foundation Nano-scale Science and Engineering at the University of Berkley, scientists have developed a new graphene-base optical modulator. Graphene is basically a one-atom thick, two-dimensional material that has high electronic quality; and the role of modulators in digital data communications cannot be undermined.

Virtual Frame By Juan Pablo Giraldo (video)

To tap the rising incomparability of the gaming world, designer Juan Pablo Giraldo has developed the “Virtual Frame.” Identical to the name, the Virtual Frame is a portable gaming console sort of a device, which integrates the blend of virtual reality to set it apart from the game consoles like the Nintendo DS and PSP. Well, while the latter have an established market space and enjoy supremacy of their own, the Virtual Frame isn’t a bad conceptualization of what the future of gaming industry and innovative social behaviors could be. Featuring Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a camera with a translucent touchscreen display, the Virtual Frame along with a virtually enhanced gaming experience, lets gamers invite and set gathering points to conduct gaming meets. A great prospect for the days after gesture controlled and 3D gaming consoles. Hit the jump to see a video representation of the Virtual Frame.

Clarity MegaPixel Wall

American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that “Every wall is a door.” I wish, Mr. Ralph would have seen the Planar Systems Ultra-High Resolution Wall developed recently by Planar Systems, Inc – as this wall has been built for getting things done. It is actually a 18 inches display wall which delivers 5,760 x 2,160 pixels resolution. It is a Clarity MegaPixel Wall for the perusal of corporate world entrepreneurs who want to showcase information during conferences or meetings. The MegaPixel Wall takes you into an another live world through it’s one of its kind simulations display.

Fiber Will Enable T-shirts To Function As batteries

Zhong Lin Wang at Georgia Institute of Technology and Jong Min Kim of Samsung Electronics in South Korea, have conceptualized a textile energy storage device made up of zinc oxide nano-wires grown on conventional fibers. This supercapacitor is supposed to provide spontaneous recharge and flexibility to be carried anywhere – which is not possible with traditional rechargeable batteries.
