| 801983 | 2009-08-17 19:05:00 | Scientists at IBM are experimenting with using DNA molecules as the basis of smaller, more powerful computer chips. (news.techworld.com) The company is researching ways in which DNA can arrange itself into patterns on the surface of a chip, and then act as a kind of scaffolding on to which millions of tiny carbon nanotubes and nanoparticles are deposited. That network of nanotubes and nanoparticles could act as the wires and transistors on future computer chips, the IBM scientists said. I miss the oil and bubble memory. |

| 801984 | 2009-08-17 21:40:00 | I miss the oil and bubble memory. Ahhh yes - - - Bubble memory. Did not some Australian University get millions of dollars to research into those so that "in future years when the world electronics industry can only tug at Australian coat tails when they admire our leadership, it will be recognised that this grant started it all"? Maybe the bubble burst. :badpc: |
