5. Nanotechnology The idea behind nanotechnology - controlling individual atoms and molecules to create miniature devices (chips, motors, self-replicating robots that clean up our arteries) - has been around since the 50s.
Motorola is also trying to expand its microchip franchise by promoting semiconductors that power all kinds of devices, chips that are planted in cars, toasters, high-definition televisions, lighting systems and more.
The company has aimed the software at netbooks and smartphones in a bid to spur demand for its Atom mobile device chip.
The camera's CCD (charge-coupled device) chip captures and digitises the images, which are then transmitted as radio waves to another, even smaller chip implanted inside the eye.
In a sad, sad week for Apple, come a new phone and a new operating system that between them show the company still at the top of its game, still innovating, still implementing new technologies at a level of perfection and fluency that is only possible when you make, design and control it all: device, chip architecture and operating system.
Just hours before the world's largest mobile-devices chip supplier announced the revision, Gartner released its semiconductor capital spending forecast for 2009, projecting a 45% drop.
Here, each device chip comprises of four carbon black (CB -doped SU-8 polymeriCB -dopedvers.
In this device, chip 1 was used to prepare and pump the reagent mixture, whereas chip 3 was used for pumping the sample.
In its current configuration, μF-on-SAW can host up to eight different analytes for detection on the dual-device chip, crossed by four parallel microchannels.
Consumer device chip maker Broadcom has acquired SC Square, a security software maker based in Tel Aviv, Israel, the company announced over the weekend.
