Nanowires, nanoribbons and 'graphane' among materials that'll revolutionize computers
Architects of the next generation of computers are developing a variety of nanostructures to meet the demand for increasingly smaller features for semiconductors, microprocessors, and other components. These tiny building blocks are quite extraordinary-some even self-assemble. And they’ll help ov
Mighty Mouse Has One Less Gene, Lives 20% Longer
Researchers have created a mightier mouse: By deleting a single gene from a mouse's genetic makeup, they've enabled it to suffer fewer age related ailments and live 20% longer. On humans, that'd be about 16 bonus years. So what exactly did those crazy scientists do? They bred mice with the "gene t
Solar Sail Proves Photon Acceleration Works, as it Twists and Turns Under the Sun
Less than two months after being unfurled in space, Japan's IKAROS solar sail accomplished its ambitious aim—becoming the first spacecraft to travel in space, powered by the sun. Now, it's demonstrated its fine steering ability. Measuring 20m diagonally, the solar sail is made from aluminized
Microsoft EMG Research Would Let Users Strong-Arm Gadgets Into Submission
Mind control is one way to control tomorrow's gadgets. Here's another equally cool, equally complex way: Controllers that involve nothing but the electrical impulses taking place everyday in our muscle tissue. [HTML1] The system, developed as part of a patent filed by Microsoft, uses a series

Understanding Windows 7's 'GodMode'
Although its name suggests perhaps even grander capabilities, Windows enthusiasts are excited over the discovery of a hidden "GodMode" feature that lets users access all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder. By creating a new folder in Windows 7 and renaming it wit
Scientists Successfully Embed Silicon Chips Inside Human Cells
Scientists have already created mini-cyborgs out of living cells and semiconductor materials, but now biological cells can also contain tiny silicon chips, which could become sensors that monitor microscopic activities, deliver drugs to target cells or even repair cell structures. According to
Windows XP Mode No Longer Requires Virtualization Hardware
Windows XP Mode is a pre-configured solution for Windows 7 users needing support for older software, and, until recently, it required AMD-V or VT processor hardware. An update released today should make XP Mode far more accessible to more Windows 7 users. If you're a 7 user who's been trappe
G2Peer Shares Your Files Through Gmail
Windows only: Free application g2Peer shares files with friends by using your Gmail account as a virtual "IP address." Once installed, you need to log into g2Peer with your Gmail account information.

Samsung’s following up its 30nm NAND chips from 2007 with some even-smaller 20nm ones. Write-speed is 30 per cent faster than the previous cards supposedly, and are being tested in up to 64GB SD cards before they’re rolled out properly.
If you pick up one of Samsung’s high-capacity SD memory cards today, it’ll likely have one of their 30nm chips inside it, and while Samsung and Toshiba are both testing smaller chips it’ll take a bit longer until they hit the market in some all-new cheaper SD cards. [PC World via Engadget]
