Rubber
stamp leaves electronic mark
Put a gold-plated rubber stamp on a thin film of
plastic, give it a jolt of electricity and the plastic
traps electric charge in the form of the stamp.
The result could be high-capacity data storage and
it might even give rubber stamping a good name.
Software
spots forged signatures
The expertise needed to identify people by their
handwriting could be coming soon to a courthouse
computer near you.
Magnetic
transistor means changeable chips
If magnetic transistors come to pass, you might
be able to upgrade your computer without even opening
it.
Filters
distill quantum bits
Researchers are looking for a good stiff shot of
well-entangled particles. A distillation technique
offers to serve up the good stuff.
