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.
It can seem hard to believe that a company with all the resources of Microsoft can make make a billion-dollar mistake with a small chip-design fault. Yet chip design is not an exact science and Rupert Goodwins, who has been there himself, details how it can go horribly wrong.
Intel has unveiled the latest addition to its Atom processor family, aimed at what it sees as the emerging market for low-cost subnotebooks.
Thirty-seven years ago, Leon Chua, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, theorised that symmetry demands that there should be a fourth fundamental circuit element, the "memristor" or memory resistor. Now HP thinks its memristor will improve memory and circuit design.
Materials Australia and the Department of Innovation, Industry, Science and Research will be hosting a series of seminars next week encouraging small businesses across South Australia to get involved with nanotechnology.
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.
As a drum-roll to its developer conference to be held in Shanghai in April, Intel has released details of its latest chip designs including the six-core Dunnington. Check out our photo gallery to get an insight into Intel's latest developments.
In the 60 years since its invention, the transistor has shrunk from hulking origins to the point where more than six billion can fit in an area the size of a credit card. Follow the history of the transistor from its humble origins in Bell Labs to its possible quantum future.
Over the past few years, the amount of electricity required to power a server in a datacentre has more than doubled. In this special report, we look at why many datacentres today are facing a power and cooling crisis.
Intel's Pat Gelsinger on the future of Itanium, technology in the developing world and the one-chip blade server of tomorrow.
Intel's Core architecture now underlies mobile, desktop and server chips, and is a major departure from the Pentium 4's NetBurst design.
Intel will launch its "Montecito" version of Itanium, the first dual-core version of the processor, on July 18 in the US, sources familiar with the event said.
Intel's latest mobile platform, now officially christened Centrino Duo, introduces the Core Duo (Yonah) chip with dual CPU cores. This and other developments should deliver useful -- if not revolutionary -- increases in notebook performance and battery life.
Intel's latest Pentium 4 processors bring long-awaited 64-bit support to the desktop, along with -- in the 600 series -- notebook-style cooling technology.
A PDA can become an indispensable tool for staying organised, connected, productive, and entertained. This guide steps you through the decision-making process.
