A powerful life-logging tool which captures and stores memorable moments in people’s lives is being developed by two researchers who argue that it could improve public well-being.
Saturday 23 June marks the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing - mathematical genius, hero of the WWII code breakers of Bletchley Park, and father of modern computing. To celebrate, a short film has been produced by the ̽»¨Ö±²¥. A blue plaque has been unveiled on the front of King’s College - where Turing was both a student and then a fellow.
Progress in electronics has relied heavily on reducing the size of the transistor to create small, powerful computers. Now spintronics, hailed as the successor to the transistor, looks set to transform the field.
Physicists from the Hitachi Cambridge Laboratory, the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge and other institutes have successfully developed technology to enable the control and detection of spin current in a similar way to electric current.
