Hitachi plans to use millimeter-wave communication to transfer high-definition (HD) video streams between AV equipment, such as wall-screen TVs and Blu-ray Disc recorders. Millimeter-wave communication will enable 1 gigabits per second and faster wireless communication. Hitachi, Toshiba and Panasonic are introducing their millimeter wave products in the second half of 2010. Sony appears to be …
Graphane is graphene with a lot of hydrogen. Graphene is two dimensional sheet of carbon. Graphane was made for the first time only last year at the University of Manchester. P-doped diamond nanowires might have similar properties. Copper oxides superconduct in an entirely different way to conventional BCS superconductors (after Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer, who …
