IBM Breakthrough in Photonic Chip; Slows Light 300 Times

June 9th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A team of physicists and engineers at Bristol University has demonstrated exquisite control of single particles of light - photons - on a silicon chip to make a major advance towards long-sought-after quantum technologies, including super-powerful quantum computers and ultra-precise measurements. The Bristol Centre for Quantum Photonics has demonstrated precise control of four photons using a microscopic metal electrode lithographically patterned onto a silicon chip.

September 26th, 2009 LONDON - A team of scientists has designed a system that can fire barrages of entangled photons with machine-gun regularity, and can power quantum computers in the future. Existing methods of producing entangled photons tend to spew out photons more or less randomly, according to Terry Rudolph at Imperial College London.

August 24th, 2005 A new type of cell discovered in umbilical-cord blood promises to overcome the ethical and legal dilemmas surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. International researchers who discovered the cells - called cord-blood-derived-embryonic-like stem cells, or CBEs - have found a way to mass produce them.

June 20th, 2006 Researchers at I.B.M. and the Georgia Institute of Technology will announce today that they have broken the speed record for silicon-based chips with a semiconductor that operates 250 times faster than chips commonly used today.

July 15th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A software program that prescribes a regimen for avoiding jet lag using timed light exposure has been created by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the University of Michigan. The method has been described in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.

June 19th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A software program that prescribes a regimen for avoiding jet lag using timed light exposure has been created by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the University of Michigan. The method has been described in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.

June 22nd, 2009 SYDNEY - Australian scientists have developed a new method for transmitting data with light that may lead to the development of teleportation technology and super-fast quantum computers. According to a report in www.news.com.au, the research team, from the Australian National University, developed a new approach to generating quantum entanglement in beams of light using only two parts.

April 1st, 2005 A paralysed man in the US has become the first person to benefit from a brain chip that reads his mind. Matthew Nagle, 25, was left paralysed from the neck down and confined to a wheelchair after a knife attack in 2001.

August 7th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A breakthrough by engineers at Queen's University Belfast's Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology (ECIT), may lead to more accurate global weather forecasts and a better understanding of climate change. The breakthrough is the development of a high performance electronic device, known as a dual polarized Frequency Selective Surface filter, that is to be used in future European Space Agency (ESA) missions.

April 5th, 2005 It comprises a computer chip that sits in the back of the individual's eye, linked up to a mini video camera built into glasses that they wear. Professor Dagnelie said: "The retinal implant contains tiny electrodes.

September 20th, 2006 I have been using Meebo, an AJAX based online instant messenger and website communicator, for quite sometime. This is a review of Meebo, what works and what doesn't.

January 24th, 2007 Some of my customers have complained that they were unable to access my site. They complained that the site was accessible by IP address (72.36.134.131) but not by domain name - http://blog.taragana.com/.

March 10th, 2006 The company said the new chip for server computers, called Woodcrest, would offer an 80 percent performance improvement and require 35 percent less power; the Conroe chip for desktop computers, which will be released later in the year, will offer 40 percent performance improvement and require 40 percent less power. The foundation for the chips is derived from the company's popular Pentium M chip for notebook computers, the company said.

September 9th, 2007 Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq:CREE), a leading innovator in LED lighting components, today announced it has demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens, an amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb, from a single LED. A single-die LED, driven at four amps, produced 1,050 lumens in cool white and 760 lumens in a warm-white version.
