Scientists are currently investigating how millions of miniature microrobots called catomy create materials changing shape. If such material used in the manufacture of computer cabinets, display and keyboard at the computer, would allow the technology to adapt the physical shape of a particular method of use.
With millions of tiny microbes could, for example when transporting a mobile computer in your pocket to be quite small, making phone calls to change the shape of the handset and vice versa for browsing the Internet or watching a movie with zoom, straighten and extend the keyboard. The research described Justin Rattner, Intel chief technology officer in his opening speech the final conference day Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco: “The creation of such technology is very complex, yet achieved steady progress.”
For the first time demonstrated the results of a new technology for the production of tiny silicon hemispheres using photolithography – a process which is currently produced silicon chips. This is one of the cornerstones for the development of functional catomů and future connections to the necessary computational and mechanical components into one functional unit miniature, less than one millimeter.
Wireless power cable instead of network
Imagine sitting at the airport or in a conference room with his laptop computer and laptop connect without the socket, the battery is charging. Scientists are working on technology Wireless Resonant Energy Link (WREL), based on the principles proposed by physicists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Rattner demonstrated the possibility of wireless power 60wattovou bulb – which is more power than is necessary for normal laptop. The magic of WREL technology is the ability to safely and efficiently transmit electricity wirelessly. The technology uses a mutually coupled resonators – a principle very similar to when a trained singer can shatter the power of his voice, a pane of glass.
If you accept the natural frequency of the resonator, the energy is absorbed efficiently – as well as glass in its natural frequency absorbs acoustic energy. Using this technology, such as in portable computers can recharge the battery on the approach to a distance of several tens of centimeters from the transmit resonator. Even though it is necessary to solve a number of technical problems, but scientists believe they will find a way to completely get rid of power cables and provide users with wireless power.
