One day’s sunlight can supply up to eight hours of glow. This kind of glow-in-the-dark highway is being... Continue Reading →
A first: Stanford engineers build basic computer using carbon nanotubes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9j36d25VMo A team of Stanford engineers has built a basic computer using carbon nanotubes, a semiconductor material that has the potential to launch a new generation of electronic devices that run faster, while using less energy, than those made from silicon chips. This unprecedented feat culminates years of efforts by scientists around the world to... Continue Reading →
