IBM develops New kind of High Capacity Memory
2008-04-13 13:25:00 IBM has allegedly developed a new type of digital storage that could greatly increase the capacity of portable devices, while reducing their price. ?Racetrack? memory, as this technology is called, uses spinning electrons to store more data, and enables these systems to operate faster than regular hard drives.This technology is similar to flash memory, in that it has no moving parts, which reduces the likelihood of mechanical malfunction. However, unlike flash memory, it can write data very quickly, and does not wear easily out over time.For years, scientists have been looking into storing data inside the was between magnetic domains. However, it has been too difficult and expensive to get significant results. Stuart Parkin, head of the team researching this technology, has said that his team was able to store data in columns of magnetic material on a silicon wafer. The data moves on the columns at high speed, hence the name ?racetrack?.This technology is currently considered ?exper...

Past Future Perfect Tense
2008-02-27 17:01:00 Past future perfect tense is in the form of :would (not) have + past participle.It usually pairs with past perfect tense.This tense is used to describe some action that has happened earlier which results in something not to the satisfaction of the doer.Example 1:If I had asked come earlier, I would have bought the last copy of the book.Explanation: I did not come earlier. If I did, the last book would still be there and I had the chance to buy it.Example 2:If man had shown concern towards the Earth, it would not have been polluted to the present extent.Explanation: Man did not show concern towards the Earth. Man polluted the Earth every now and then. It reached a serious state when this sentence is written.

Latest Solid-State Drives may have speeds up by 500%
2008-02-04 10:18:00 Intel and Micron Technology on Friday said they have developed technology for a high-speed solid-state drive that's five times faster than current products used in consumer and professional devices ranging from hand held computers and notebooks to digital cameras and camcorders.The NAND flash memory chips developed jointly by the two companies can reach speeds of up to 200 MB per second for reading data and 100 MB per second for writing data, the partners said. Current memory chips have maximum read-write speeds of 40 MB and 20 MB, respectively.Solid-state drives are used for storage today in just about any electronic device that holds data. Current technology is fast enough for handling photos and standard video in computers or an Apple iPod, but performance problems become an issue in handling high-definition video, which consumers are expected to start demanding as they become accustomed to watching HD televisions. HDTV's are among the hottest selling consumer electronics produ...

World's thinnest notebook!
2008-01-16 16:27:00 Apple announced the MacBook Air which boasts of being the slimmest notebook around. The laptop measure only .16-inches and is slim enough to slip into a manila envelope. The lappie features a full-size keyboard and LED-back lit 13.3-inch display with built-in iSight. It also sports a new larger track pad that supports multi-touch gestures. Similar to the interface of the iPhone where you can pinch in or pan out, the MacBook Air?s track pad allows you to do the same, it even allows you to rotate images with two fingers, and move windows with a flick. Apple was able to contain the size by using the same 1.8-inch 80GB drive that's in the iPod classic.However the64GB SSD is optional. So far so good, but on the flip side just like an iPod, you can't just crack it open to replace the hard drive, memory or even battery. On full charge the batter will last you five hours. Also the thing doesn?t sport an Ethernet port either.Apple MacBook Air steers clear of optical media, but there's a s...

Improved Lithium-ion batteries coming soon...
2008-01-16 15:50:00 Stanford University researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires to give rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries--used in laptops, iPods, video cameras, and mobile phones--as much as 10 times more charge. This potentially could give a conventional battery-powered laptop 40 hours of battery life, rather than 4 hours.The new batteries were developed by assistant professor Yi Cui and colleagues at Stanford University's Department of Materials Science and Engineering."It's not a small improvement," Cui said. "It's a revolutionary development."Citing a research paper they wrote, published in Nature Nanotechnology, Cui said the increased battery capacity was made possible though a new type of anode that utilizes silicon nanowires. Traditional lithium ion batteries use graphite as the anode. This limits the amount of lithium--which holds the charge--that can be held in the anode, and it therefore limits battery life.Silicon anodes have the "the highest theoretical charge ca...

Hovercraft that can fly!
2007-10-29 08:16:00 New Zealand mechanic Rudy Heeman has developed a hovercraft with the ability to lift- off, leaving other water based craft in its wake. Heeman has spent the last eleven years building a hovercraft. Its' optimum height is about 4ft 6in above the water. The hoverwing sets off like a normal-hovercraft but when it reaches top speed of 60mph, its wings can be extended and it takes flight. Rudy Heeman feels that there may be a commercial market for his creation-the hoverwing. He feels that his invention is an extremely efficient method of transport, travelling at about 6ft over the water and reaching speeds of over 60mph across the surface.Officially this invention is a 'wing in ground effect vehicle' - a hovercraft which is able to fly due to a set of unusual aerodynamics. The first test flight ended in a crash landing. He escaped with a bruised leg and and it was back to the drawing board. But after hours of tinkering he made the necessary adjustments and now believes the hoverwing i...

Singapore Airlines: The first commercial Airbus A380 to fly passengers
2007-10-29 07:59:00 Singapore Airlines flight SQ380, from Singapore to Sydney was the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380. The buzz around the flight has ensured that its operation was a much-publicized event. "The flight was spectacular, just truly awesome," said Thomas Lee, when reached by cell phone as the plane pulled into the gate at Sydney Airport, (as told to the International Herald Tribune) "I'm thrilled beyond words actually. Just extremely excited. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd put it at 12." Lee's word is worth reckoning because he was aboard the first commercial flight of the 747, in 1970, and now was on the first A380 passenger flight as well. The A380 offers 50 percent more floor space than a 747, and can carry as many as 853 people.Singapore Airlines flight SQ380 flight had paying customers but it still wasn't a regularly scheduled flight. Regular A380 flights won't start until later this week. This flight consisted mainly of people who bought their tickets on eBay, with procee...

Samsung Developes Micro-Fuel Cell for Mobiles
2007-10-16 14:13:00 Samsung Electro-Mechanics announced that it has developed a micro-fuel cell and hydrogen generator that runs on H20. When the mobile handset is turned on, metal and water in the phone react to produce hydrogen gas which is then supplied to the Samsung micro-fuel cell where it reacts with oxygen in the air to generate power. While other fuel cells need methanol to produce hydrogen Samsung?s micro-fuel cell needs only water. Since the micro-fuel cell can generate up to three watts of electricity, it could be used in mobile devices, the company said. The new fuel cell could power a handset for 10 hours, twice as long as rechargeable batteries.Water-powered handsets are expected to hit the market by 2010. If the user uses the phone for four hours a day on average, they would have to change the hydrogen cartridge about every five days. Later handsets will be developed that don't need the hydrogen cartridges to be changed, and would only need to be filled with water. Samsung Electro-Mech...

World's Fastest Production Car!!!
2007-09-24 18:50:00 Shelby Supercars (SSC), manufacturer of the ultra high-performance Ultimate Aero Twin Turbo, set the new "World?s Fastest Production Car" record with an average top speed of 255.83 mph. Confident of the 1183 bhp vehicle?s abilities, SSC set out to validate their top speed claim in accordance with the strict guidelines set by Guinness World Records. Among other requirements, in order to meet Guinness? approval, a vehicle testing for the top speed record must drive down the course, turn around, and make a second pass in the opposite direction within one hour. The vehicle?s official ?top speed? is calculated by averaging the top speeds of each pass in order to negate any favorable road or weather conditions. In September 2007, on a temporarily-closed 2 lane stretch of public highway in Washington State, the Ultimate Aero posted a top speed of 257.11 mph (413.83 km/h) on its first pass and 254.55 mph (409.71 km/h) on its return pass, yielding a new top speed record: a staggering 255.83 ...
