Image via Wikipedia 5 Absurd Scientific Myths People Believe - ShaveMagazine.com : "Even the most unscientific of us have a repository of common-knowledge , scientific facts accumulated from media, friends, peers and colleagues. Unfortunately, however, some of these scientific “facts” are not actually true. Many of these myths are so widespread and persistent in popular culture that despite being consistently dispelled they continue to be passed on with completely convinced sincerity. Here are some of the most common scientific myths that you, or someone you know, may have helped spread at one time or another." .. .ero .

It would answer one of the most profound questions humans ask: Are we alone in the universe?"

Single-atom transistor is end of Moore's Law; may be beginning of quantum computing

Image
Image via CrunchBase Single-atom transistor is end of Moore's Law; may be beginning of quantum computing : "Although definitions can vary, simply stated Moore's Law holds that the number of transistors that can be placed on a processor will double approximately every 18 months. The latest Intel chip, the " Sandy Bridge ," uses a manufacturing process to place 2.3 billion transistors 32 nanometers apart. A single phosphorus atom, by comparison, is just 0.1 nanometers across, which would significantly reduce the size of processors made using this technique, although it may be many years before single-atom processors actually are manufactured." .. .ero .

Replica-of-first-transistor (Photo credit: Revolweb ) Physicists create working transistor consisting of a single atom : " In a remarkable feat of micro-engineering, an international team of researchers, including physicists at the University of New South Wales in Australia , have created a working transistor consisting of a single atom placed precisely in a silicon crystal ." Physicists Create a Working Transistor From a Single Atom By JOHN MARKOFF (NYT) The team of scientists say their achievement lays the groundwork for quantum computing, which would involve technology much smaller and faster than is currently possible. .. .ero .

'Atlantis' volcano predicts big eruptions | News24

Image
Image via Wikipedia Image via Wikipedia 'Atlantis' volcano predicts big eruptions | News24 : "The study, reported in the journal Nature , chimes with other research that suggests magma reservoirs in caldera volcanoes undergo a "pulsatory" build-up which probably accelerate before eruption. If so, the findings are useful for vulcanologists poring over Yellowstone and other hotspots. They could detect such pulses using satellite technology, which records ground deformation over time as the volcano bulges, and ground- motion sensors ." .. .ero .
