Electronic devices of the future could be smaller, faster, more powerful and consume less energy because of a discovery by researchers.

A group of researchers from the University of Granada (UGR) has developed Inmamusys, a software program that can create music in response to emotions that arise in the listener.

Move over, silicon it may be time to give the Valley a new name.

No matter how good a search engine is, it is sometimes necessary to change the search terms to get the information you need. But what if you did not have to change the search terms yourself? What if the search engine could do that for you?

Scientists are on the trail of a new phenomenon, called the “colossal magnetoresistance effect” (CMR) which is up to a thousand times more powerful than current hard drive technology.

Electrical engineers at UC San Diego created games on Facebook in order to improve their experimental music search engine that is capable of listening to new songs and accurately labeling them with words.

MIT engineers have built a fast, ultra-broadband, low-power radio chip, modeled on the human inner ear, that could enable wireless devices capable of receiving cell phone, Internet, radio and television signals.

The unique properties of thin layers of graphite – known as graphene – make the material attractive for a wide range of potential electronic devices.
