HP plans nanoscale RRAM by 2009

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Last week researchers at Hewlett-Packard indicated that their nanoscale crossbar arrays may see commercialization as early as next year in ultra high density non-volatile memory. While the initial research into nanoscale crossbar technology was performed by Stan Williams and Phil Kuekes in the late 1990's, the recent discovery of the "memristor" characterized as ...

Nanotechnology and Artificial Intelligence

Monday, April 21st, 2008

Futurists and science fiction authors often use nanotechnology and artificial intelligence in their predictions of the future. While the realities of nanomaterials science and A.I. may not currently be able to provide the "nanobots" or autonomous robots projected by science fiction, at least some forms of A.I. has impacted various ...
