Samsung introduces 3rd generation V-NAND flash memory
Samsung Electronics announced that it has begun mass producing the industry’s first 256-gigabit (Gb), three-dimensional (3D) Vertical NAND (V-NAND) flash memory based on 48 layers of 3-bit multi-level-cell (MLC) arrays for use…
MIT team creates a superfluid gas in a record-high magnetic field
MIT physicists have created a superfluid gas, the so-called Bose-Einstein condensate, for the first time in an extremely high magnetic field. The magnetic field is a synthetic magnetic field, generated using laser…
Eye tracking technology allows paralyzed people to communicate independently
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego are developing high-tech assistive technology to help individuals with disabilities. Using the most advanced ubiquitous computing technologies, the project will look into helping people…
MIT designed an inexpensive fusion reactor that boosts power by tenfold
Advances in magnet technology have enabled researchers at MIT to propose a new design for a practical compact tokamak (donut-shaped) fusion reactor. Using these new commercially available superconductors, rare-earth barium copper oxide…
