Efficiently Producing Quantum Dots
generica1 writes "The Edmonton Journal is reporting on the University of Alberta's National Institute for Nanotechnology's recent invention of a new method to produce quantum dots — what are currently the world's smallest quantum dots, possibly allowing for startling increases in the efficiency of semiconductor-based equipment. 'Roughly speaking, we predict there could be a 1,000-time reduction in power consumption with electronic computers built in this new way,' said Robert Wolkow, a physicist at the University of Alberta and leader of the team behind the breakthrough. Read the article for a description of the wave-like phenomenon employed by Wolkow's team to accomplish a vastly lower power consumption during the transfer of electrons."
When will people stop RESPONDING to the supercilious responses to the supercilious responses of first posts as Anonymous Coward, not only adding nothing to the discussion, but also proving they were in fact the parent poster, but don't want to admit to it, for fear of appearing more foolish than they actually were when they made the original post.
