Practical Nanotube Electronics

Researchers have found a new way to make nanotube transistor arrays. They are promising for making display control circuits because its more efficient than silicon and can be arranged on very flexible surfaces. Before this creation it took much longer to make the nanotubes, but now they are much easier to make using the carbon nanotubes.

Emerging Technology

Apple is now looking into three dimensional cameras for their phones and ipods etc. Embodiment, separate luma, chroma and 3-D image sensors may be used to acquire the 3-D effect.The systems and methods may involve image sensing, capture, processing, rendering and/or generating images.

Should Ipods , Phones, and Electronic Devies Be Allowed In Class

I think that they should be allowed in class due to the growing advancements that are being made in technology. There are many things that phones and other electronic devices that can do much more than certain things that are given to you in class. For example, a calculator, a calculator can do a lot , but now phones and ipods now have many applications that will allow you to use a calculator that can be twice as helpful than a regular one that is given to you. Another example is the use of dictionaries. A lot of people use to carry dictionaries around, but now they are able to download simple apps that have dictionaries on them. This feature is good because now you don't have to carry around a large dictionary. A lot of these features will allow you to do a lot more things quicker, faster, and easier.

Emerging Technology

A new type of computer is now being created. This computer that was created by a company called Lenovo (IBM) can now read your eye movement through hidden cameras beneath the screen of the computer. These cameras can tell where you are looking on the screen and can be controlled using your eyes. This is supposed to make computer usage much quicker and easier than using a mouse and/or trackpads. This prototype is suppose to be very accurate. These computers are going to be expensive, so the company must sell these units at a high volume in order for the computers to be affordable for the consumer.

Mineral Shows Electronic Properties

So I found out that there is a mineral called Molybdnite. It's used as a lubricant but is now showing extraordinary electronic characteristics when in two-dimensional strips.Researchers in Switzerland found this out.This minerals is a semiconductor which means it provides discrete energy levels for electrons to jump through—a property known as its bandgap. I think that this might save us energy in many ways hopefully.
