Faster, Cheaper Chips From Space TechnologyParis, France (ESA) Mar 25, 2010 Our world is full of integrated semiconductor circuits, commonly known as microchips. Today you find them in computers, cars, mobile phones and in almost every electrical device. Technology from ESA's XMM-Newton space telescope will make these chips much smaller, faster and cheaper. The circuits are etched into today's microchips by ultraviolet light. The demand for faster and more powerful chips requires the use of extreme ultraviolet (EUV).

Study focuses on retinal implantsTel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Mar 23, 2009 Israeli scientists say they are researching technology that might someday result in bionic retinal implants that can restore sight to vision-impaired people. Tel Aviv University Professor Yael Hanein says she has completed foundational research that may merge retinal nerves with electrodes to stimulate cell growth. The research, she said, has so far been successful in animal models. "We're working to interface man-made technology with neurons," Hanein said. "It can (provide) an unders ... read more |
