31 January 2008

Another round of exciting breakthroughs coming your way:
  • Researchers Demonstrate Quantum Teleportation and Memory in Tandem - I want to explore the possibilities this may bring: Using quantum teleportation could it be possible to create a telecommunications device that instantly transmits and receives data irrespective of distance wih no media between transmitter and receiver? If so, quantum networking could enable us to build a data network throughout the universe with no propagation delay or interstellar media to etenuate a signal. This would allow colonies on the other side of the galaxy to instantly communicate with us in real time! Bandwidth would be astronomical! Whoa! Coupled with the incredible speed of quantum computing, this is truly transformative technology. What a way to start the links!
  • Engineers demonstrate nanotube wires operating at speed of commercial chips - I am glad to see the next developing paradigm in computing substrates is well underway. All hail the Law of Accelerating Returns!
  • Lab On A Chip Developed For Cheap, Portable Medical Tests -Further evidence that biology and medicine follow the same exponential growth trends that IT is enjoying.

Well, I had a busy day today. I didn't have much time to get many links in. I hope to get some later tonight, or more tomorrow, definately.
