This is it … Thinnest LCD TV in the World
Electronics December 21st, 2009
From time to time the size of the LCD (liquid crystal display) TV increasingly thin. South Korean electronics giant, Samsung, introduced a LCD TV which claimed the world’s thinnest. How thin?
Quoted from AFP, Wednesday (7/1/2009), this LCD comes with a thickness of only 6.5 millimeters (0.26 inches), thinner than the size of the LCD TV in general. In fact, this product is claimed is thinner than the majority of mobile handset LCD.
Further disclosed, the thinness of LCD Samsung besutan the 1 / 7 of the thinnest Samsung LCD currently on the market, Bordeaux 850.
Products that adopt the system of LED (light emitting diode) will show off in the arena 2009 Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas
2010, each person will Have 1 Transistors
Electronics September 3rd, 2009
The number of transistors produced in the world more and more. Even in 2010, every single person predicted to ‘have’ one billion transistors.
According to IBM research revealed Syahbana Fetra, Country Manager of Systems & Technology Group IBM Indonesia IBM arena through Technology Conference Expo 2009, at Hotel Shangrila, Jakarta, Thursday (19/3/2009).
“In the year 2010 is estimated to every single human being will ‘have’ 1 billion transistors,” said Fetra in front of reporters.
Because, he continued, electronic goods these days it’s hard to be released from human life. Electronic device is of course composed of various components, now one transistor.
“Just now, you certainly have more than one phone. Not to count other electronic devices such as refrigerators, TV or the other,” explained Fetra.
According to wikipedia, the transistor is a semiconductor device used as an amplifier, the circuit breaker and connecting (switching), voltage stabilization, signal modulation, or as other functions.
Transistors can also function as a kind of electric faucet, where according to input current (BJT) or voltage input (FET), which allows electrical conduction of the circuit is very accurate source of electricity.
Still according to IBM research, the 2 billion people predicted to be immediately connected to the internet. Meanwhile, the number of mobile phone users at the end of this year is predicted to penetrate 4 billion.
Paper Battery Ready Content 'Lives' Electronic Equipment
Electronics August 2nd, 2009
The researchers tried to develop alternative energy sources to meet human needs. Another alternative energy source is found, the paper battery. Like what?
It is the researchers from Stanford Universiy of developing the paper battery. Way, ordinary sheet of paper that we have met, coated with a special ink made from carbon nanotubes.
In a previous study found that the silicon nanowire can be used to create a battery that is 10 times more powerful than lithium-ion bateri that is widely used today.
“Taking advantage of the technologies of paper, cheap, lightweight and able to deliver large energy can be realized by using conductive paper as current collectors and electrodes,” said the researchers involved in the research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that.
Great hope was suspended from the battery of this paper. If the discovery is a success, this type of battery can be used to mendayai electric or hybrid vehicles, because its weight is lighter and more durable. Given that all this size and battery life is still a constraint in the supply of energy for cars and trucks.
“People really need a cheap source of energy but has the ability to save energy topnotch,” said Yi Cui, a member of the research team. Cui also stressed that this paper battery can be used to mendayai various electronic devices.
Quoted by Reuters on Wednesday (9/12/2009), according to Peidong Yang, a professor of chemistry at the University of California-Berkeley, this technology will waltz into the market in the near future.
IBM to Make Use of DNA microchip
Electronics July 5th, 2009
DNA not only can be used to determine the origin of man, but it is also useful to make regular fixed microchip in a computer, mobile phones and other electronic devices.
This is what is doing International Business Machines (IBM) by using one of the elements contained in every human body is to be a structure in building their latest generation microchip.
Indeed, the chip manufacturing industry is required to make a cheap product, innovative, and cost-effective to win the competition in the market. So no wonder, or by crook until the unthinkable even be done by the manufacturer.
In the journal Nature Nanotechnology mentioned, nanostruktur artificial DNA or the so-called ‘DNA origami’ can provide an inexpensive framework that can be used to create a miniature microchip.
So you can imagine how small it later. Because it already has mikropchip a miniature form. Now, with this DNA element, is expected to make a microchip smaller again.
“This is the first demonstration that uses biological molecules to assist in the process of the semiconductor industry,” said IBM research manager, Spike Narayan told Reuters, quoted, Tuesday (18/8/2009).
However, the end of this study can not seem to be enjoyed in a short time. Even predicted, the study of this project no later take up to 10 years to be perfect.
