As we approach the extent to which powerful processors can be miniaturized the engineering has to move in a new direction. At IBM that direction is a brain-inspired 3D architecture, staking processors and memory in close proximity. But it is a solution with the same old problem. How do you remove all the heat? One possible answer; Electronic Blood. The art of liquid cooling has been demonstrat…Read More
Mobile computing has become ubiquitous as has charging the devices to keep them running. People would rather be using them than charging them so researchers, designers, and engineers have been searching for ways to deliver not processing power but to balance the energy to feed it.

Bar-codes ruled the roost for years when it came to tracking shipments and supply chain management and for the most part continue to play the role of 'Front-man' for the supply chain band. RFID tags came along and added a layer of detail, supplementing the bar-code by allowing additional data collection as material moved (or was moved) past readers at fixed points in the supply chain. The next…Read More
Computer aided or assisted design has evolved thanks to the robotic revolution and innovations that made 3D printing a reality. Today's designers and craftsman can exchange the hand-tools they used to use for digital design tools and equipment that allows them to turn their imagination into a part or product in a fraction of the time. And not just where they are, but anywhere in the world wh…Read More
