    Diamonds shimmer in quantum computers

    A.J. Roan, Metal Tech News|Updated Jul 12, 2022

    It seems that cutting-edge computer technology, like truth, is stranger than fiction. In this strange new world of computational science, diamonds push past the reasonable and into the incomprehensible realm of quantum computing. Such a diamond-based quantum computer developed by German-Australian startup Quantum Brilliance can run at room temperature, allowing it to work in tandem with conventional supercomputers at the Pawsey Supercomputing Research Centre in Australia....

    Graphene opens door to 'spintronic' tech

    A.J. Roan, For Metal Tech News|Updated Jul 10, 2022

    Recently, advances in theoretical and experimental phenomena in studies surrounding spin transport electronics have emerged providing evidence that graphene and 2D materials could move electronics beyond Moore's Law. Intel co-founder Gordon Moore postulated that the number of transistors, those tiny on and off switches that represent the standard computer binary system, on an integrated circuit would double every two years and the costs to acquire computing power would be cut...

    Quantum computing closer with germanium

    A.J. Roan, For Metal Tech News|Updated Jul 2, 2022

    The future of computing may be seeing a transition back to germanium, a material that is at the same time the past and future of quantum computing. While today's computers have become exponentially faster, smaller and more powerful than their World War II predecessors, they work much the same way – carrying out complex computations with binary code, a stream of zeros and ones. The very first of these computers used vacuum tubes to switch on and off the flow of electricity, c...

    Berkeley creates energy saving crystals

    A.J. Roan, Metal Tech News|Updated Apr 12, 2022

    In a breakthrough that could lower the energy needs for computing, University of California, Berkeley engineers have created zirconium-hafnium crystal structures that could make anything that uses advanced transistors more energy efficient. "We have been able to show that our gate-oxide technology is better than available transistors: What the trillion-dollar semiconductor industry can do today – we can essentially beat them," said study senior author Sayeef Salahuddin, a dist...
