BLOG: Why do you do hardware?
Dr. Larry Marshall ponders the question, "Why do you do Hardware?" Many would say that when you know what you're doing, you do it in hardware and if you don’t, you choose software ...
TECHNOLOGY NEWS
Retinal prosthesis restores partial vision
A new artificial retina--an array of electrodes implanted on the back of the eye and fed by a small camera--has been found to restore partial vision to totally blind people.
Berkeley group finds new way to get nanoparticles to self-assemble
By adding specific types of small molecules to mixtures of nanoparticles and polymers, researchers at LBNL have learned how to direct the self-assembly of the nanoparticles into arrays of one, two, and even three dimensions.
Roadrunner models nonlinear physics of high-power lasers
Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists are using new computer code on the Lab's Roadrunner supercomputer to model the nonlinear physics of laser backscatter energy transfer and plasma instabilities to aid NIF colleagues.
Consortium joins with China, Japan, and Korea to promote 3D technology
Representatives of the 3D@Home Consortium, dedicated to speeding the commercialization of three-dimensional (3D) technology and content to the home, are working with their Asian counterparts to discuss ways to improve 3D technology.
