Apple Inc. has decided to use Intel Corp. modem replacing Qualcomm Inc. chips for its iPhone used on AT&T Inc. US network and also few of the other versions of smartphones for overseas markets.  However, the deal was not publicized. iPhones sold in China and iPhones on Verizon Communications Inc.’s network will continue to use parts from Qualcomm. At present, Qualcomm is the only supplier of the main communication component for all versions of Apple iPhones.

Intel winning the order from Apple helped its share price rise as much as 0.7 percent to $32.15 and reversed the previous declines that it incurred.  Whereas, Qualcomm’s share price fell 2.9 percent to $53.40 after losing some major part of its business with Apple; which was one of its largest customer.

Microsoft’s Next-Gen Touch Screen

A ‘touchscreen’ by definition is an input device normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen or more fingers.  

Well!! That may change, as an expert team of Microsoft researchers have developed pre-sensing technology that anticipates touch even before it is physically touched. It may sound surreal, but the technology has already been developed. Microsoft says it works by monitoring a variety of different factors, such as speed at which fingers are travelling, location of fingers in relation to the screen, the user’s hand angle etc. 

Another exiting feature of Microsoft's new pre-sensing touch technology is the grip detection. Researchers say that the device, which is in the prototype stage, can determine if the user is single hand or both hands. With this, the display will then reveal menus and options that are optimized according to the user's hand placement.

New 5D Data Storage Crystal

Scientists at the University of Southampton have made a major step forward in the development of digital data storage that is capable of surviving for billions of years. Using nanostructured glass, scientists from the University’s Opto electronics Research centre have developed the recording and retrieval process of five dimensional ( 5D ) digital data by femtosecond laser writing.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights recorded into 5D optical data, the documents were recorded using ultra fast laser, producing extremely short and intense pulses of light. The file is written in three layers of nanostructure dots separated by fiver micrometers. The self assembled nanostructured change the way light travels through glass, modifying polarization of light that can then be read by combination of optical microscope and a polarizer, similar to that found in Polaroid sunglasses.

Coined as the ‘Superman memory crystal’ as the glass memory has been compared to the ‘memory crystals’ used in the superman films, the data is recorded via self-assembled nanostructured created in fused quartz.
