Toshiba breakthrough technology achieves low voltage operation of System LSI: Toshiba has developed a breakthrough technology that achieves low voltage operation of System LSI, opening the way to reduced power consumption in digital products. The technology secures successful operation of static random access memories (SRAM) at low voltage with an improved circuit design that optimizes voltage control of the bit line and word line. The new technology overcomes the high failure rate that has been the main challenge in achieving practical, low voltage SRAM, and reduces memory cell failure rate by four orders of magnitude at 0.7V. The circuit design can be applied to the memory compiler, software that automatically configures SRAM, contributing to shorter design lead times and bringing an effective solution to the LSI development process.

Korean researchers for the first time extracted hematopoietic stem cells that could help treat leukemia from fatty tissue: Korean researchers have for the first time extracted hematopoietic stem cells that could help treat leukemia from fatty tissue. According to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Korea, the discovery was made by a research team led by Koh Gou-young, a biologist at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology. Leukemia affects hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Until now, it has been treated by bone marrow transplant from donors. The Korean success will open up possibility of extracting hematopoietic stem cells from a patient's own fatty tissue.; February 8, 2010 | Related Entries - Other Stuff
