Researchers have used
nanotechnology to create
transparent transistors and
circuits, a step that promises
a broad range of applications,
from e-paper and flexible
color screens for consumer
electronics to "smart cards"
and "heads-up" displays in
auto windshields.
The
transistors are made of single
"nanowires," or tiny
cylindrical structures that
were assembled on glass or
thin films of flexible
plastic.
"The
nanowires themselves are
transparent, the contacts we
put on them are transparent
and the glass or plastic
substrate is transparent,"
said David Janes, a researcher
at Purdue University's Birck
Nanotechnology Center and a
professor in the School of
Electrical and Computer
Engineering.
Transparent aluminum has been the dream of many ever since it was first mentioned in a popular Sci-Fi movie a couple decades back. But researchers at
the University of Michigan may have done that one better. It could almost be called "transparent steel".
Scientists began with
a desire to take the extremely strong nanostructures, like nanotubes, nanorods and nanosheets found at micro levels, and then build something big and
usable with it. But each time they tried the strength was not carried forward into the bigger structures. There was always something making the end
product quite flimsy in comparison to the strength shown at the nanoscale.
However, scientists have now overcome that difficulty
with a product based on what they're calling "the velcro effect." This new polymer and glue sets up a series of hydrogen bonds between layers
which, if broken, can be easily connected to other nearby locations automatically. This makes it like velcro in that if it's separated, it can be
rejoined and it will be as strong as it originally was. As the materials flex and bend this bond reformation happens continuously.
Google Labs will soon become "more transparent in its interaction with end users," R.J.
Pittman, who heads Google's consumer search operations, told Beet.TV earlier this week in this video interview. He also said the company is making a
major commitment to expand and accelerate the rate of innovation of the Labs.
Graphics performance,
which has long been an
afterthought for most
corporate PCs and many
consumers, will move to the
forefront with the launch of
Windows Vista, Microsoft's
next Windows operating
system.
Vi
sta, due late next year, will
offer four different themes,
including the well-publicized
three-dimensional Aero Glass
with transparent
windows.
Starting
with a Classic theme, which
looks like Windows XP, each
will offer successively more
advanced features, also call
for successively more powerful
graphics.
Vista is
expected to measure the
graphics grunt available in a
PC and automatically serve up
the proper UI.
But
what's still unclear is where
many of today's PCs will fall
on the Vista interface
spectrum and thus how
consumers and corporate buyers
who wish to gain the most
advanced features can get
prepared. .. winbeta.org - 16.11.2005
Sony is a company well known for creating new and innovative products, and has done it again with a new transparent tube speaker that will be released

At the CHI 2009 conference, which wrapped up yesterday in Boston, Microsoft researchers showed off two radical
prototypes that push the boundaries of user interfaces. One was a 'pseudo-transparent' iPhone-like device called nanoTouch, which has a trackpad
on the back rather than a traditional touch screen and gives visual feedback in the form of a simulated image of the user's finger (the effect is
like looking straight through the device). The other was a folding dual-screen device called Codex that can switch automatically between landscape,
portrait, collaborative, or competitive modes depending on its 'posture' or orientation. If Microsoft doesn't build such devices itself, 'somebody
else will, so it's really important to understand what the issues are,' said researcher Ken Hinckley.
