2008-04-04 19:06:19 by Michael in Medgadget
...molecule of DNA without amplification. We have initially covered Helicos' technology back in April, 2005 The company reports: The report demonstrates that the tSMS technology can reliably re-sequence a moderately complex genome without the associated errors, cost, and experimental complexity of amplification. The tSMS process captures images...

2008-12-02 09:08:39 by Editor in Ubergizmo
...Molecule concept is pretty self-explanatory - it allows you to pick up an atom of light from the collective molecule, where it can last for up to 4 hours before requiring a recharge (that means a trip back to the molecule, of course). The molecule's shape is completely amorphous, so it really depends on your creativity and imagination as to...

...molecule, as a potential electrode for nano-based electronics. The scientists created an experimental model composed of a single DNA molecule attached on both sides of the strand to single wall carbon nanotube electrodes. This molecular construct is suspended in a "nanoscale trench" for studies of its conductivity From Nanowerk : The results...

2008-11-17 19:34:00 by Jesus Diaz in Gizmodo
...Molecule blows our minds with its potential power: Imagine 5,000 Atom N330 chips in just one 3U rack computer, the size of your average PC desktop. That's 10,000 cores in one single computer, or 40 more times the processing power of your typical 1U x86 cluster node. Is this possible? How do they expect to do this without actually creating a...
