SIMPLE METHOD MAY IMPROVE CATALYSTS, NANODEVICES; ATOMIC ANCHORS TO QUICKEN COMPUTER BOOT-UP.

Advanced Materials & Composites News, August, 2002

August 2, 2002 - We report this because every one of our readers must suffer at some time from the frustration of agonizingly slow computer boot-ups! A way to help next-generation computers boot up instantly, making entire memories immediately available for use, has been developed by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, according to a Sandia news release.

The patented technique is able to deposit flat, ultrathin, metallic layers on very thin oxide layers. The thinness of the deposition reduces material cost and requires less electricity to produce more rapid magnetic effects in the service of computer memory.

The inexpensive innovation also may produce better, less expensive catalysts for chemical...
