Computers have speed limit as unbreakable as the speed of light!

According to a pair of physicists, if processors continue to accelerate we will hit faster processing in about 75 years. Processor fabrication using new technologies such as imprint lithograph, graphene, and quantum computing continue to yield faster and smalled chips. However, these advance techniques stave off the absolute ceiling for speed, no matter how small the components get.

Brain-Computer Interface Communicates Between People

Southampton University as research that shows it is possible to communicate person to person through thought. Using electrodes, computers, and the internet, Dr. Christopher James is taking brain-computer interfaces (BCI) to new levels. His proof of concept is showing that brain-to-brain communication (B2B) is possible. The full concept has yet to be grasp but the B2B can be useful in helping people with severe dibilitating muscle wasting diseases, "locked-in" syndome, communicating, and gaming applicaions.

New type of excitonic computer!


Physicists at UC San Diego a year ago created an integrated circuted using excitons. They now have discovered that a technique that allows for these particles to operate at cold temperatures. This discovery is bring to reality a computer that operates at extremely fast speeds. When commercially available, this could speed up computing and communicating.
