STM electron beam scanning microscope
Electron beam scanning microscope discovered that for the first time humans have opportunities to benefit from an atomic point of view of the world. In 1982, IBM researchers Gerd Binnig and 2 Heinrich Rohrer invented the East scanning electron microscope, can be applied to the surface morphology of conductor materials, testing, and therefore the discovery of the Nobel Prize was awarded in 1986.
As the detection of up to atomic level resolution, and can be carried out in the atmosphere, it has been expanding its applications in biotechnology, health care, energy, environment and other issues have contributed to the study.

Strained silicon tension / strain silicon / silicon super-limits
"Tension silicon" concept has been 30 years now, but has only recently become the focus of the chip designers. This manufacturing technology is expected to make the next 20% increase in processor performance, Intel and IBM in 2003 after the succession of the technology into the chip manufacturing process, will first appear in 2003, Intel's Prescott chip, using 90-nanometer process .
The technology of silicon transistors stressed that the distance between atoms, which is chip-based micro-switch (on / off switch). A little distance between these atoms will be opened, you can reduce the crystals by atomic force between the electronic movement of electrical interference, further higher performance and lower power consumption chips.
Silicon in tension, the inter-gate by adding germanium in the silicon atoms of atomic distances lengthen. Another chip-manufacturing technology is the bed in the transistors (transistor bed) adding silicon-germanium layer (silicon-germanium). Both techniques are different but similar concepts, but also can be used in the same chip.

Streaming Data
Stream, a data transmission method in order to stabilize the rate of data sent to the receiver, the receiver can not fully completed before the transfer can begin processing data.

Stylus Hardwires
Similar to the pen point, and drawing tools can be used in the tablet (DIGITIZING TABLE) or a pressure sensitive label a point on the screen, or to draw a line.
