Computers will use more electricity than the entire world can generate by 2040, tech experts claim

A leading technical organised called the Semiconductor Industry Association has produced a study which said that computer-crazy society will be running short of electricity by 2040. “Computing will not be sustainable by 2040, when the energy required for computing will exceed the estimated world’s energy production,” it wrote. The Semiconductor Industry Association meets every year [...]

Article: Moore’s Law is on the verge of collapsing

Moore’s Law may be about to breathe its last. It’s a world-famous maxim that has predicted the development of computers for decades — but, an industry roadmap suggests, it will soon no longer be viable. Moore’s Law, formulated by Intel cofounder Gordon Moore in 1965, is simple. It says that as technology improves, the number [...]

Engineers design programmable RNA vaccines: Tests in mice show they work against Ebola, influenza, and common parasite

MIT engineers have developed a new type of easily customizable vaccine that can be manufactured in one week, allowing it to be rapidly deployed in response to disease outbreaks. So far, they have designed vaccines against Ebola, H1N1 influenza, and Toxoplasma gondii (a relative of the parasite that causes malaria), which were 100 percent effective [...]

Seeing RNA at the nanoscale (with video)

  Cells contain thousands of messenger RNA molecules, which carry copies of DNA's genetic instructions to the rest of the cell. MIT engineers have now developed a way to visualize these molecules in higher resolution than previously possible in intact tissues, allowing researchers to precisely map the location of RNA throughout cells. Key [...]
