...announced Wednesday that they have built the very first, elementary quantum network comprised of a pair of entangled atoms that transmit information to each other via single photons.
A little more than a decade from now, one of the world’s great arid plains will become a bustling intersection of high-resolution astronomy and high-powered computing.
Magnetic hard disks will soon be able to store one terabit (a trillion bits) per square inch. Seagate has demonstrated that landmark storage density using a new magnetic recording method
Despite solid state drives increasing in capacity in recent years, the humble platter-based 3.5-inch hard drive still reigns supreme as the data storage device to beat in terms of bits for your buck.

The NSA is a data center to house a 512 qubit quantum computer capable of learning, reproducing the brain’s cognitive functions, and programming itself.
Intel Corp took the wraps off its newest "Xeon" server chip on Tuesday, seeking to capitalize on an explosion of Internet traffic sparked by Web-based cloud computing, social networking and growing smartphone and tablet computer use.
Today’s quantum computers are no more than experiments. Researchers can string a handful of quantum bits — seemingly magical bits store a “1″ and “0″ at the same time — and these ephemeral creations can run relatively simple algorithms.
With the rollout of the Windows 8 operating system expected later this year, millions of desktop and laptop PCs will get kill switches for the first time.
"This technology takes advantage of VHF and UHF TV bands and transmits broadband wireless internet over 60 miles in diameter." "The news release is plain and simple, but something tells me this tech might never see the light of day."
Japanese cybernetic experts have announced a truly incredible achievement: a supercomputer that can calculate at the rate of 10,000,000,000,000,000 per second. While many people have a hard time wrapping their brain around the current U.S. deficit th
At the time, he was appointed to be a member of the president's export council. There are dozens of interviews in the report. We've gone through them and picked out some of the most interesting pieces of information. Here are the most interesting tid
If you think a 1TB flash drive is impressive, IBM is about to do you one better. The computing giant announced yesterday that it was able to store one bit of data on the world's smallest storage drive — one 6 atoms long by 2 atoms wide.

Thanks to researchers at Taiwan’s Tsing Hua University and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, salmon is also good sandwiched between two electrodes.
Microsoft plans to bring its Kinect technology to bear on personal computers following its phenomenal success with the gesture and voice-recognition sensor in the Xbox 360 game console.
“I’m thrilled to announce that Kinect is coming to Windows on
Scientists said Thursday they have designed tiny wires, 10,000 times thinner than a human hair but with the same electrical capacity as copper, in a major step toward building smaller, more potent computers.
Raspberry Pi will offer office programmes and video for £16 - Just need to add keyboard, television and mouse - Connects to internet via cable - and can connect to other gadgets via USB - First 10 'collectors' samples on eBay this week
Apple is facing mounting challenges in 2012 to refresh key product lines in the face of rising competition after a year marked by record profits but also the death of its founder Steve Jobs and less dramatic design innovation.
Amazon data-center guru James Hamilton alluded to this gag at a recent event in New York, using it to explain how data centers should treat power-sapping water chillers and air-conditioning units.
This fall, Amazon built a virtual supercomputer atop its Elastic Compute Cloud — a web service that spins up virtual servers whenever you want them — and this nonexistent mega-machine outraced all but 41 of the world’s real supercomputers.
At the University of Stuttgart and the nearby Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, researchers are taking the notion of smaller, more compact engines to a micro-machinery extreme.
