Letters: Guardian 'surrender' on self-regulation
We are disappointed that the Guardian now appears to accept the "merit" of the new system of press self-regulation being proposed by David Hunt of the Press Complaints Commission and Guy Black of the Telegraph ( Editorial , 2 November). You admit yourselves that their plan "vests too much power in an industry funding body which retains key powers over the regulator", but you fail to take this to ...

Geeking out aero-style for a hundred bucks - Dan Shapiro
When Dan Shapiro was a kid, radio control flight meant spending thousands of dollars to put what was essentially a slightly aerodynamicized lawnmower in the air. You spent thousands on engines and electronics and balsa, months building your plane, crashed it your first flight out, and then repeated. Over and over, and over again. Enter lithium polymer batteries, rare earth magnets, miniaturized solid state inverters, 2.4 GHz spread spectrum frequency hopping transmitters and receivers. Then stir it up in a huge domestic Chinese market for RC gear that has pushed remote control aircraft off a Moores law cliff of price and performance. Watch Dan explain how you can get off the ground for a single Benjamin.From:ignitenightViews:14553 25ratingsTime:05:26More inScience Technology

Energy Efficient Electronics: Searching for the Milli-Volt Switch
Eli Yablonovitch [Professor, Electrical Engineering Computer Sciences, UC Berkeley] Abstract: Because of miniaturization represented by Moores Law, the energy efficiency of information processing steadily improves. We anticipate that the energy required to process a single bit of information will eventually become as tiny as 1 electron volt per function. Inevitably, most logic functions, including storage and readout, will eventually be that efficient. However, there is one information-processing-function that bucks this trend. That is communication, especially over short distances. Our best projections of improvements in the short distance communication function show that it will still require hundreds of thousands of electron volts just to move one bit of information 10 micrometers. This energy per bit discrepancy for communications is caused by the difference in voltage scale between the wires and the transistor switches. Transistors are thermally activated, leading to a required voltage kT/q. Wires are long, and they have a low impedance, allowing them to operate efficiently even at ~1 millivolt. The challenge, then, is to replace transistors with a new low-voltage switch that is better matched to the wires. I will present some of the technical options for such a new switch.From:citrisucViews:1337 7ratingsTime:55:39More inScience Technology
