World's Smallest Superconductor Discovered 72
arcticstoat writes "One of the barriers to the development of nanoscale electronics has potentially been eliminated, as scientists have discovered the world's smallest superconductor. Made up of four pairs of molecules, and measuring just 0.87nm, the superconductor could potentially be used as a nanoscale interconnect in electronic devices, but without the heat and power dissipation problems associated with standard metal conductors."

How would you feel about a subvocalization recognizer? To my knowledge it hasn't been done, but it seems possible. Recognizers seem to like to filter out the vocal chord exitations anyway since they contribute very little to the differentiation of phonemes and are mostly there just to drive the volume up. There must be other ways of deducing vocal tract shapes (e.g. ultrasound)
