Ugh, i don’t even understand half of the article. But it says they use gene manipulated viruses to fight cancer cells effectively, instead of nanobots. Of course it’s good to have more options.

no multitasking for humans (incl. women)

we do serial processing, maybe hyperthreading with 2 tasks at most. but just one core. maybe some genetics could help us :)

Carbon Nanotube Battery:

Nanotubes in Pb batteries, on anode and cathode.

They claim 2.5x Li-Ion energy density. 5 minutes charging time. I want my Tesla roadster now.

Self-assembling computer chips

MIT researchers coaxed tiny, chainlike molecules to arrange themselves into complex patterns, like this one, on a silicon chip. Previously, self-assembling molecules have required some kind of template on the chip surface — either a trench etched into the chip, or a pattern created through chemical modification. But the MIT technique instead uses sparse silicon “hitching posts.” The molecules attach themselves to the posts and spontaneously assume the desired patterns.

oh, look, there’s a rogue chip building itself! better chips are always welcome :D

MIT scientists transform polyethylene into a heat-conducting material

another futuristic nanotechnology to make everything better and cost effective.

probably when it’s produced on a large scale, it’ll benefit to easier recycling too…

New era for super efficient solar cells?

Caltech Researchers Create Highly Absorbing, Flexible Solar Cells with Silicon Wire Arrays

The silicon-wire arrays absorb up to 96 percent of incident sunlight at a single wavelength and 85 percent of total collectible sunlight

The silicon wire arrays created by Atwater and his colleagues are able to convert between 90 and 100 percent of the photons they absorb into electrons—in technical terms, the wires have a near-perfect internal quantum efficiency.

“But in terms of area or volume, just 2 percent of it is silicon, and 98 percent is polymer.”

Wowzers, so it’s like science in your face! Hope it’s not just vapor science.

Assuming high quality panels today are 20% efficient, and round the new one’s to 80%. that’s 200 times more energy for the buck? I’ll buy this when google buys it’s stock!
