Australian researchers have taken another step towards quantum computers -- computers which use sub-atomic particles to minimise transistors' size and maximise computing power.
The world's smallest hard drives have already shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, but nanoscale computing may soon make that achievement look elephantine, say some of the stars of information technology.
With a recent breakthrough in making circuits with molecules, Hewlett-Packard hopes to change chip history and expand its own role in the process.
Motorola plans to announce this week that it has manufactured prototypes of a flash-memory chip that relies on a thin layer of silicon crystals to retain data, a breakthrough that could help the flash industry overcome looming technical hurdles.
HP Labs is leading a project to find new ways to boost silicon-based memory and processor technology far beyond its current limits.

Carbon. Is there nothing it can't do? As well as being the fundamental element behind life, the premium component in energy storage and the top contender for executioner of the human race, it's now beginning to fill in the forms for consideration as inheritor to silicon's electronic crown.
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Manoeuvring through the labyrinth of storage solutions is a tortuous road but Rick Belluzzo is determined to overcome all odds.
Lloyd Taylor, vice president of technical operations at LinkedIn talks about facilitating online communications between its 17 million business professionals. He also discusses his past experience building and scaling data centres at Google and how it differs from his new role.

Just as a falling apple spurred Isaac Newton's discovery of gravity, toppling dominoes have inspired researchers to build the world's smallest computer circuits.
A new hard drive from Cornice is small enough to fit into MP3 players or cameras but costs less than memory cards and other tiny drives.
Scientists at IBM Research have discovered a new way to get carbon nanotubes to emit light, a breakthrough that might one day lead to advances in fibre-optic technology.
As a size barrier looms for the memory chips, the industry works to come up with a successor.
