#Computer Chips Can Now Be made From Wood Not quite what we had in mindthe woods are lovely, dark, deep,
and filled with potential computer components. In a paper published in Nature Communications this week,
researchers announced the construction of computer chips made from wood. But don't expect to see hipsters advertising hand-carved artisan computer chips.
The wood product that the scientists are using is called cellulose nanofibril, or CNF. It is thin, flexible,
and when a layer of epoxy is applied, it doesn't expand or attract moisture like wood normally does (think of a warped board--not something you want in a computer).
The researchers were able to use CNF as a substrate or base layer for electronic circuits in lab tests,
unlike a lot of the petroleum-based alternatives that manufacturers use to build the bases of modern computer chips.
"It will be years before computers containing wood-based computer chips hit store shelves, but computers as fertilizer isn't a totally crazy idea.
Society tends to treat electronics as disposable commodities. But unlike a glass bottle that gets recycled or food that hits a compost heap,
once that broken laptop heads into the trashcan, it doesn't disappear. Every year, 3. 2 million tons of electronic waste are thrown out in the United states alone.

#New laser for computer chips: International team of scientists constructs first germanium-tin semiconductor laser for silicon chips The transfer of data between multiple cores as well as between logic elements and memory cells is regarded as a bottleneck in the fast-developing computer technology.
Data transmission via light could be the answer to the call for a faster and more energy efficient data flow on computer chips as well as between different board components.
Signal transmission via copper wires limits the development of larger and faster computers due to the thermal load and the limited bandwidth of copper wires.
The clock signal alone synchronizing the circuits uses up to 30%of the energy--energy which can be saved through optical transmission explains Prof.

Conventional honeycomb structures are insular panels of repeating, often hexagonal-shaped cells in a range of sizes and configurations.
PLA is also one of the few plastics that are suitable for 3d printing. However, PLA is not yet a full alternative for petroleum-based plastics due to its cost.

With advances in DNA sequencing technology and computer processing the process is now efficient and cost-effective enough to be useful in obtaining whole genome sequences of wildlife species, like bighorn sheep.
As a game species, the trophy status of a bighorn sheep ram is based largely on horn size.
Because the rams with the largest horns are often the ones targeted by hunters their removal from a population could then eliminate the genetic ability of animals in that population to grow large horns.
