#Rare case uncovers missing clue to Fragile X Fragile X syndrome may not only be a problem of receivers in the brain letting in too much information.
A new study finds that transmitters may be sending out too much data, as well. The findings raise the possibility that drugs recently tested as treatments for fragile X may be ineffective, at least in part,
because they only dialed down the brain receivers, presumably leaving transmitters on overdrive. Scientists made the discovery by studying the case of someone who doesn even have the disordernly two of its classic symptoms.
In patients with fragile Xhe most common cause of inherited intellectual disability key gene is disabled completely
Like radio transmitters and receivers, brain cells send and receive transmissions in fine-tuned ways that separate the signals from the noise.
Until recently, most fragile X research has focused on problems with overly sensitive receivers, those that allow in too much information.
published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, suggests that fragile X likely also causes overactive transmitters that send out too much information. he mechanisms that researchers have thought long were the entirety of the problem with fragile X are obviously still very much in play,

Surprisingly, the fruit fly studies indicated that this single mutation increased the number of transmitters in brain cells, implicating a fundamental problem in

#Hybrid crystals fuse semiconductors and metal Tomorrow's computers and electronics will require extremely small high-quality circuits.
Comprised of both a semiconductor and metal the material has a special superconducting property at very low temperatures.
Nanowires are extremely thin nanocrystal threads used in the development of new electronic components like transistors and solar cells.
The atoms sit in a perfectly ordered lattice in the nanowire crystal not only in the semiconductor and the metal but also in the transition between the two very different components which is significant in itself explains Peter Krogstrup an assistant professor who helped develop the contact.
He thinks it opens many opportunities to make new types of electronic components on the nanoscale to study the electrical properties with much greater precision than before In their publication in Nature Materials the research group has demonstrated this perfect contact
and its properties and has shown also that they can make a chip with billions of identical semiconductor-metal nanowire hybrids.

"The chip is designed to funnel blood through a field of microscopic triangle-shaped posts. The posts are arranged so that every two posts channels cells towards the tip of a third post.

these sensors pick up electric impulses from more than one muscle. This degrades performance, requires a lot of practice to operate properly,
One answer to this is to use more precise sensor arrangements that make the limb, for all practical purposes, mind-controlled.

#First 7nm node test chips developed IBM Research has created successfully the first 7nm node test chip with functioning transistors,
Developed in conjunction with Globalfoundries and Samsung, the new manufacturing technique has the potential to see a whopping 20 billion transistors packed into a chip the size of a fingernail.
In order to achieve this, the team used a number of nonconventional semiconductor manufacturing methods including the development of transistor channels made of silicon-germanium, or Sige
rather than pure silicon. Sige is suited better for smaller transistors because of the fact that it has higher electron mobility than pure silicon.
Basically, when pure silicon is used, the gap between silicon nuclei gets so small that silicon atoms cannot carry enough current.
These transistors are each only 7 nanometers wide that's about 1/10, 000th the width of a human hair and three times the width of a single strand of DNA.

#New molecular transistor can control single electrons Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United states have managed to create a tiny,
reliable transistor assembled from a single molecule and a dozen additional atoms. The transistor reportedly operates so precisely that it can control the flow of single electrons,
paving the way for the next generation of nanomaterials and miniaturized electronics. For our electronics to become more powerful it's vital that the transistors,
the tiny switches that make them up, keep getting smaller and smaller. However, there is a limit to just how much the silicon-based transistors as we currently use can shrink.
A single silicon atom is about half a nanometer in size meaning that, in the current generation of electronics,
the terminals of the switch are separated only by around 30 atoms. Once that number drops to single digits these transistors will become inoperable as quantum mechanics starts getting in the way,
with electrons spontaneously jumping from one end of the switch to the other whether the switch is closed open
or. Tiny molecular transistors much smaller than the ones inside our computers (as small as two nanometers) have already been built,
but the issue that researchers now face is to find a way to control them in a reliable way.
This is not an easy feat as molecular transistors are often so small that their on/off state depends on the location of a single electron.
Now, an international team from Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik (PDI), the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB), the NTT Basic Research Laboratories (NTT-BRL),
and the U s. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has built a molecular transistor that can reportedly be controlled precisely, in
what could mark an important step toward the advancement of miniaturized electronics. The transistors of today are built using a top-down approach where bulk silicon is gradually etched into the desired pattern.
A molecular transistor however, must be built from the bottom up, by assembling atoms one by one in a chemistry lab.
Although this may sound highly unusual and extremely laborious, it's also a very precise and reproducible process that has the potential to make the transistors of tomorrow highly reliable despite their incredibly small size.
Researchers Stefan Fölsch and team built their transistor using a highly stable scanning tunneling microscope (STM.
The device was assembled by taking a crystal of indium arsenide and placing 12 indium atoms laid out in a hexagonal shape on top of it, with a phthalocyanine molecule in the middle.
As the researchers explain, the central molecule is only weakly bound to the crystal surface beneath it,
The positively charged atoms around the molecule act as the gate of the transistor regulating the electron's flow and leading to a functioning and reliable molecular transistor.
One unusual fact observed was that the molecule orients itself in a different direction depending on its charge state and, in turn,
If exploited, this knowledge could help us build molecular nanostructures with a very precise control over single electrons, leading to new types of high-performance semiconductors and nanomaterials r
