Wearable Air Conditioning

By Dan Crippen

As one of the latest and possibly the greatest innovations in technology, researchers at the University of California are working on smart-clothing that will provide you personal air conditioning. Not only that, but to alleviate dependence on traditional DC batteries they will power their smart-clothes with sweat. All this will be thanks to an earlier…

Graphene Lights The Way

By Dan Crippen

Everyone knows that graphene is slowly rising to the occasion of the “super” semiconductor that many believe it today. In the latest discovery, scientists were able to create the world’s thinnest light-bulb by using strips of 1-atom thick carbon as the filament. Not only did they produce this incredible light-source, but they did it as…

Nantero Receives More Funding For Nano-Memory

By Dan Crippen

After 13 years of working on their NRAM technology, Nantero has received another bit of funding to (hopefully) bring their innovation to market. What they are looking to accomplish is a commercial nanotechnology that will allow for more efficient storage of memory in the increasingly smaller gadgets of today. So far they have licensed their…
