Increasing processor efficiency by ‘shutting off the lights’
Cambridge, Mass. – February 28, 2011 – There was a time when a laptop could weigh 10 pounds and still sell — a time when a cell phone was larger than a pocket — and a time when an iPod only played music.

Fractals Help Researchers Design Antennas for New Wireless Devices
Antennas for the next generation of cellphones and other wireless communications devices may bear a striking resemblance to the Santa Monica Mountains or possibly the California coastline.
That’s because UCLA researchers are using fractals ? mathematical models of mountains, trees and coastlines ? to develop antennas for next-generation cellphones, cars and mobile communications devices. These antennas need to be miniature and be able to operate at multiple frequencies simultaneously.
