(IOP/NanoTechWeb.org) Lab Talk: "Can we build a computing device that works without any energy input?" - Present day microprocessors consume too much energy. This is a serious limitation toward the realization of novel supercomputers - these would require a nuclear power plant to make them work. It's also a limitation toward the development of the "internet-of-things" scenario. This is where small mobile devices process information and communicate autonomously, without disposable batteries. Reporting in Nanotechnology, researchers consider what could be done. ...
