World's thinnest wire a quantum leap forward. Down to the atomic wire Sydney physicists have created the world's narrowest conducting wire - just four atoms wide and one atom tall. P 6, 2012 SYDNEY physicists have invented the world's narrowest silicon wire – 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – with the same capacity to conduct electricity as a traditional copper wire.
The nanowire, four atoms wide and one atom high, is a significant advancement for the team, which is part of an international race to build the world's first quantum computer. These super-fast and super-powerful devices will be able to compute enormous amounts of data in seconds, calculations that would take today's computers years, even decades.
Atomic precision ... "It feels great, it's a big breakthrough and we are all very excited," said the University of NSW PhD student Bent Weber, who led the work. Advertisement. Narrowest conducting wires in silicon ever made show the same current capability as copper. The narrowest conducting wires in silicon ever made – just four atoms wide and one atom tall – have been shown to have the same electrical current carrying capability of copper, according to a new study published today in the journal Science. Despite their astonishingly tiny diameter – 10,000 times thinner than a human hair – these wires have exceptionally good electrical properties, raising hopes they will serve to connect atomic-scale components in the quantum computers of tomorrow. "Interconnecting wiring of this scale will be vital for the development of future atomic-scale electronic circuits," says the lead author of the study, Bent Weber, a PhD student in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia.
The researchers discovered that the electrical resistivity of their wires – a measure of the ease with which electrical current can flow – does not depend on the wire width. TuneTune - YouTube to MP3. From ordinary glass to touchscreen. Posted by admin on December 29th, 2011 12:48 AM | Technology This concept is the future of the computers made in a very unusual way. In order to be controlled you don`t need a monitor or keyboard. Just need to find any flat glass surface, which will turn into a touchscreen. To do this, put the computers main unit on the glass, and at the same moment the glass starts to light up, reflecting image controls and a monitor frame. Digg.

They are hoping to show how 3D printing will revolutionise the economics of aircraft design – by flying the world's first fully "printed" plane. Led by Andy Keane and Jim Scanlan of the University of Southampton, the team believes that 3D printing will soon allow uncrewed aircraft known as drones or UAVs to go from the drawing board to flight in a matter of days. 3D printing has come on in leaps and bounds since its origins as an expensive prototyping tool over two decades ago.
