For many years, the power supply voltage required to store charge in a capacitor remained stuck at 1 volt. As computers improved, this limitation made transistors run at increasingly hot temperatures, reducing the machine's efficiency. Researchers in the United States now think they can change this.

Electromagnetic nanostructures used in data storage are, at this point, some of the most complex devices in the world, and they make storing information at the nanoscale possible with relative ease. But a tiny grid of the stuff has recently led researchers to a totally unexpected find, namely that they have surprisin... |

Most people who own a computer know that turning it on can be very stressful. Booting and rebooting can take forever, and you really need to get something done very fast, at times. With this in mind, three universities have joined forces in a strife to figure out a way in which to use ferroelectric materials (which c... |
