Computer Memory tech Ping!.......................

Whatever! I did this last week. ;)

[Red Badger]

Well, duh, it seems so obvious!................

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yeah, but does it get him chicks?

[Lazamataz]

I understood the words "Grad Student Discovers".

After that you lost me.

[Red Badger]

It’s basically a possible way to store electronic information, ie, computer memory, that can utilize the properties of a tungsten alloy that would exceed the capabilities of solid state memory using transistors....................

[Red Badger]

Yeah, the Big Bang Theory kind............:^)

Sie, 29, who is from Indonesia, is a fifth-year graduate student in physics and expects to graduate in fall 2017. He earned his bachelor's degree in physics at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He was a silver medalist in the 2004 International Physics Olympiad, held that year in South Korea. Since his early years, Sie also enjoyed drawing and painting, and earlier considered becoming an artist. That interest came into play when he came up with a sketch for the image that eventually became the cover for his Nature Materials article. Great for him. These are the kinds of immigrants we should encourage. I know this is totally un-pc, and I'm probably committing some kind of crime by saying this, but so often I have seen that Asians' brains are good at math and art. I noticed this throughout school.

DANG IT- and here I just went and invested all my life’s savigns into solid state memory- That’ll teach me to jump on hot deals

[Larry Lucido]

I knew it was either Tungsten or Wolfram.

[Red Badger]

Ah, so!...............

[Alas Babylon!]

...optical Stark effect...

"I'll drink to that!"

[Red Badger]

Now we know why they stopped making incandescent light bulbs!..............

[Red Badger]

Article says he’s 29. He looks 18!................

[Red Badger]

......or Aluminium..............

He does look very young. Nice smile.

[beaversmom]

lol. You same-same as me...un-pc. :)
