  • Aussie scientists push transistor barrier

    Australian scientists from the Centre of Quantum Computing Technology, have pushed the boundaries of atomic scale fabrication by building a wire only three atoms thick, opening the possibility of new chip architectures.

  • HP to unveil nanotech breakthrough

    Hewlett-Packard researchers will unveil a major breakthrough in the field of nanotechnology, a milestone in the company's goal to build chips based on "molecular grids".

  • From cars to medicine, nanotubes may be miracle material

    They are stronger than steel and as flexible as plastic, conduct energy better than almost any material ever discovered and can be made from unexotic raw materials such as methane gas.

  • IBM's new spin on nano-storage

    IBM's nanotech project, code-named Millipede, features a chip with more than 1,000 heated spikes that holds up to a trillion bits of information in a postage stamp-size area. It could store 10GB in a mobile phone.

  • Breaking chip barriers

  • Renai LeMay StartupCamp Melbourne: The review
    StartupCamp Melbourne looks to have produced just as interesting ideas as the Sydney event which immediately preceded it, but the Victorian start-ups appear to have stumbled during execution. Sydney 1, Melbourne 0.
  • Array Google should come clean on datacentres
    It's nice that Google says it has put an effort into making its datacentres more energy efficient, but the search giant's pledges won't mean much until it discloses just how many of the beasties it's actually running.
  • Array US shows what OPEL could have been
    Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
