Scientists at University of Pennsylvania have been tinkering with germanium-tellurium nanowires and have figured out how to make them store data in three states. Yup, that’s 0,1 and 2… binary seems passé now doesn’t it? According to the team, storing trits instead of bits “could allow for a huge increase in the memory density of potential future devices,” meaning higher capacity storage in the same size. And using nanowires Read more… »

A good number of potential uses are listed in the patent which include gaming devices, phones, portable media players, web browsing device and navigation. The “digital tactile pixels” have me interested. From what others have mentioned it seems like the tactile feedback could be in the form of vibrations on the screen to provide that kind of response. We have seen phones give feedback when touching the screen, but Read more… »

Tesla’s following up their $100,000 super-electric roadster model with a four-door, five-passenger sedan. It’s called the Model S and will go on sale for about $60,000 in 2010. The Arnold (CA Governor) was on hand at the announcement because he’s giving an incentive package to Tesla to manufacture the car in California, and will probably be in the Bay Area where we are. Perhaps a Telsa manufacturing plant visit is in our future?
Update: Jalopnik says it’s going to have 225 miles per charge. Wowzers!
