Dev-Team Shows Live iPhone 3G Unlock 'Yellowsn0w' Demo
[HTML1] This video is the first public demo of the iPhone 3G unlock, named "yellowsn0w", courtesy of Dev-Team member MuscleNerd. With a wave of his hand, he goes from AT&T to T-Mobile, and makes a call. The target release date for the official unlock is New Year's Eve.

MIT Scientists Increase Fuel Cell Efficiency 50% [Fuel Cells]
Scientists at MIT have been tackling the efficiency of next-gen power source fuel cells, and have discovered how to significantly improve it. Most current direct-methanol fuel cells use a membrane called Nafion sandwiched between their electrodes, and apparently it's got a flaw. As well as letting h
New Paint Could Block Wi-Fi From Nosey Neighbors
Living in an apartment building, I can spot about twenty active Wi-Fi networks at a time. And the worst part is that they can all see me, too. While we've had RF-blocking paint to cellphone signals for some time, manufacturers have been thwarted when attempting to stop higher frequencies, lik
SunCat Solar Batteries: Well That Was Obvious
Rechargeable batteries can be a bit of a pain—you have to carry around an adapter, find an outlet, and even bend over to plug in the adapter. It's hell, really. The SunCat batteries solve all of these issues while giving the environment a firm pat on the butt by wrapping standard NiMH recha
HTC Shows Off Desire HD in Closer Detail
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHO9A9Zf5g8&feature=player_embedded[/youtube] If you don’t think you have seen enough of the HTC Desire HD over the past week or so, maybe HTC’s own video detailing the phone in — what else — HD on their YouTube page. Take a look at the uni-body
Intel's Next-Gen Atom Puts CPU and GPU on One Fun-Lovin' Chip
Along with its neato Moblin 2.0 netbook OS, Intel's also laid in more detail out what the next generation of Atom looks like—Pineview integrates the CPU, GPU and memory controller onto one chip, making the platform cheaper and less power-hungry overall. As Ars' Jon Stokes points out, this is new
Google Buys BumpTop, But Why?
[HTML1] Yesterday, TechCrunch caught wind of a very interesting rumor that stated Google was either preparing to buy BumpTop, or that the deal has already gone down. Since then, the story has been confirmed by Google themselves, however there was no reason nor did their exist any detail
How many atoms to build a computer?
Because transistors will inevitably stop to shrink in size in the future, European researchers are studying atomic-scale computing. According to ICT Results, this would allow computer processes to be carried out in a single molecule. ‘In theory, atomic-scale computing could put computers more powe
Aria Headed for HTC’s Home Turf Taiwan
Since its announcement, the HTC Aria has been seen as a device exclusive to America through AT&T, but it’s looking to pack its bags and take a trip to Taiwan. FarEasTone – one of the bigger carriers over there – will be holding the device starting tomorrow. It’s not packing the most

Following up on a 2007 world record for the fastest transistor speed, Northrop Grumman announced today that it has shattered the world record for integrated circuit performance, nearing one terahertz.
The new circuit layout operates at 0.67 terahertz, or 0.67 trillion cycles per second, more than doubling the frequency of the fastest known IC in the world.

In These Solar Eye Circuits, Light is the Power and Signal
Posted by AceNik on Mar 7, 2010• Email This Post | |
Researchers have been tinkering with contact and implanted eye sensors and electronics for some while, but here’s a way around the problem of powering that gear: use the same light entering the eye to power it.
Stanford scientists have figured out that near infrared light works to send not only data to circuits embedded in eyes but power, too.

Electronic Circuits That Melt Into Your Body
Posted by AceNik on Nov 9, 2009• Email This Post | |
It makes me nervous too. I’m not so keen on the idea of circuits enveloped in a silk substrate, which melts into your body leaving just nanometers-thick layers of electronics. But it’s for the best, trust me on this one.
Until now, body-embedded circuitry was very limited.
