UK BOINC Team Forum

Recently announced:

The Grain of Sand sized Battery:
"To do this, the team used an ink with nanoparticles of one lithium metal oxide compound for the anode and an ink from nanoparticles of another for the cathode. The inks were placed on teeth of two gold combs, which resulted in tightly interlaced layers of anodes and cathodes to form a full stack. From there, the electrodes were placed into a container of electrolyte solution."

Intel phasing out 25nm NAND SSDs by year-end
Apparently 25nm NAND is soooo passé now slows the 'ol SSD by a few nano-seconds - horror of horrors:)

.... onwards to 20nm NAND

How long before the Nano-Funeral turns up and we all get blasted into atoms after death to save burial plot space rofl .....

*sigh*  :)

Good links

I'm waiting for the time when we can have all our brain patterns saved onto some form of bio-electronic "brain" which can be transplanted from one body to another, (when the old body wears out).

And if you check the news in the last week, "head" transplants might be possible soon >>>
