When you shrink wires down to nanometres in diameter, their resistivity normally grows exponentially — a trade-off which many have predicted will be Moore’s Law’s undoing soon. But a new, single-atom thick wire could change that. More »
Technology can change your marriage — whether you’re proposing via Claptrap or getting married via computer — but it takes special dedication (and clearly a very special significant other) to take marriage proposal to the PCB stage. More »
Researchers have been tinkering with contact and implanted eye sensors and electronics for some while, but here’s a way around the problem of powering that gear: use the same light entering the eye to power it. More »
It makes me nervous too. I’m not so keen on the idea of circuits enveloped in a silk substrate, which melts into your body leaving just nanometres-thick layers of electronics. But it’s for the best, trust me on this one. More »
The NYTimes has a post on Vertical Circuits, a company that has developed a 3d circuit stacking technology using a silver based epoxy—goo, basically—to closer fuse flash memory chips together.
Some people would call these edible circuits—made of all things sugar, spice, and everything nice—”candy.” I call them breakfast ready to be dunked in 100% fat chocolate milk. [Flickr via Boing Boing]
