Researchers Create Graphite Memory 10 Atoms Thick

CWmike writes "Researchers at Rice University have demonstrated a new data storage medium made out of a layer of graphite only 10 atoms thick. The technology could potentially provide many times the capacity of current flash memory and withstand temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius and radiation that would make solid-state disk memory disintegrate. 'Though we grow it from the vapor phase, this material [graphene] is just like graphite in a pencil. You slide these right off the end of your pencil onto paper. If you were to place Scotch tape over it and pull up, you can sometimes pull up as small as one sheet of graphene. It is a little under 1 nanometer thick,' Professor James Tour said."

Wireless Panasonic plasma just 1-inch thick

The epic battle between plasma and LCD manifests itself in numerous ways — Hz one-upmanship, contrast ratio and viewing angle specs, lifespan claims — but until now, panel depth was a frontier comfortably dominated by LCD, with ultrathin models like the Hitachi UT37X902. Now Samsung and Panasonic aim to claim that frontier themselves, the latter with the new inch-thick Z1.

#27: Astronomers Spy the Youngest Planet Ever Found

A thick lump of dust, rocks, and gas” is how astronomer Jane Greaves of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland describes the new protoplanet she reported on in April at a meeting in Belfast sponsored by the Royal Astronomical Society. The dusty, rocky, gaseous lump, circling a star 520 light-years from Earth, is the youngest planet-in-the-making ever found.

A Large-Size Focus on Life Lived Small

NEW ORLEANS—Zack Lemann opened the thick acrylic terrarium marked "Dung Beetles" and began poking around in the dirt and, uh, beetle food with the delicate vigor of a practiced surgeon. A moment later he emerged with a piece of live jewelry balanced on his fingertip: Phanaeus vindex, the rainbow scarab. "Isn't it a beauty?" Mr. Lemann said proudly. "Purple, green and gold—as close to Mardi Gras colors as you can get."

Tea e-auctions here to stay

Traders gather around wooden desks in a dusty auditorium, pouring over thick catalogues describing tea chests. A broker seated at the front of the room calls out prices in a quick, rolling voice as the traders shout and gesture, signalling their bids. A sharp rap of the gravel closes each sale, and the process starts over. Under the rule, the auctioneer must sell at least three lots in a minute and the scene repeats itself twice a week. Tea has been traded this way since 1 861.

Findings on Saturn's Moon Titan: You Say Ice-Spewing Volcano, I Say Squiggly Lines

Saturn's largest moon is one of the few rocky worlds in the solar system with a thick atmosphere, and it could be home to volcanoes that spew subzero mixtures of water and ammonia or methane, according to interpretations of liquid flows found in grainy photos by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. But hold the excitement, says Jeff Moore, another NASA planetary scientist: Titan is likely to be no more volcanic than western Kansas, and the flows are probably from everyday weather events. The true nature of the flow on Titan depends on how you interpret low-resolution photos take from the Cassini spacecraft—some people see ice volcanoes, others, rain, and most laymen identify little more than squiggly lines. Until more photos are retrieved, the debate continues.

NASA Orbiter Finds Martian Rock Record
