Quantum computers made using diamonds are a practical way to achieve a massive boost in computing power without generating more heat, says one Australian physicist. The comments come as Australian authorities this week announced funding for a A$100 million supercomputing program for the life sciences. Dr Steven Prawer, of the University of Melbourne says the current generation of computers are very power hungry and inefficient. “If everybody in the world today had access to...

Silicon chips have reached the limit of their capacity to act as a semi-conductor of electricity. “Silicon Chips” according to MIT Professor of material science, Dr. Wuensch states” Will melt into a puddle” at this rate and diamond is the solution to that problem. A modern computer system in the office will generate heat at degrees celsius, enough to heat a small office...

The first wave of gem-quality manufactured diamonds hit the market late in 2003. Man-made diamonds is nothing new and the technology has been available since the mid 19th century. Small diamond crystals were created for industrial purposes such as grinding wheels, drill bits and saw blades. What is new is that a Florida based company can now produce rough 3-carat gem-quality diamonds 24 hours...

Nanotechnology, or the rearrangement of atoms to manufacture products, has incredible potential. For example: computers with massive memory but miniscule storage devices airplanes and other transport made from lightweight material medical instruments that can operate on cells or genes Today, computer chips are made using lithography — literally, “stone...

A diamond semiconductor that operates on the 81 GHz frequency, which is more than twice the speed of earlier devices, has been developed by the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp. (NTT). According to NTT, this latest development will allow amplification in the millimeter-wave band from 30 to 300 GHz...
