Next generation computing
Filed in archive Technology by on July 14, 2006
A project that could remove the electrical wiring in microchips, allowing denser circuitry, could result in computers with 500 times the power of present day technology. The University of Bath is to lead an international £555,000 three-year project to develop the wireless silicon chip system.
The idea for that chip is from nanotechnology:
But if this research is successful, it could make computers with wireless semi-conductors a possibility within five or ten years of the end of the project.
And from the beginning they think about wearable computing in the healthcare sector:
This research may also improve the accuracy and speed of medical diagnostics by gathering data from health monitoring sensors. The microwave emitters are small enough to be integrated on portable biological sensors which feed information out on faulty biological processes.
