| Possible read head for quantum computers Posted: 01 Dec 2014 10:26 AM PST Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds could be used to construct vital components for quantum computers. But hitherto it has been impossible to read optically written information from such systems electronically. Using a graphene layer, a team of scientists has now implemented just such a read unit.  |
| Girls better than boys at making story-based computer games, study finds Posted: 01 Dec 2014 08:34 AM PST Teenage boys are perhaps more known for playing computer games but girls are better at making them, a study has found. Researchers asked pupils at a secondary school to design and program their own computer game using a new visual programming language that shows pupils the computer programs they have written in plain English.  |
| Magnetic memory filmed in super slow motion Posted: 01 Dec 2014 07:04 AM PST Researchers have used high-speed photography to film one of the candidates for the magnetic data storage devices of the future in action. The film was taken using an X-ray microscope and shows magnetic vortices being formed in ultrafast memory cells. The work provides a better understanding of the dynamics of magnetic storage materials. Magnetic memory cells are found in every computer hard drive.  |
