Spintronics
Spintronics, or magnetoelectronics, is a new technology that uses the spin of electrons along with their electrical charge to store and transmit digital signals. Research has been done on new magnetic materials on how to control the electronic spins, especially on a nano scale. Graphene, a new material discovered in 2004, might be one of the most promising prime material for making carbon tubes (nano tubes) and having excellent electrical properties, might propel the next wave of integrated circuit technology. Like silicon, its electrical properties can be altered by infusing it with trace elements and therefore rendering it useful for manipulating the passage of electricity. It can also be made to possess magnetic characteristics, thus making it more useful than silicon.
Graphone nano sheets with white dots of hydrogen atoms
According to the research conducted by the group based in Virginia Commonwealth University, Peking University in Beijing, the Chinese Academy of Science, and Tohoku University in Japan, Graphene can be made magnetic by controlling how much ‘hydrogen’ to be infused with. The resulting material called ‘Graphone’ can be made into single layer nano sized sheets that have characteristics suitable for micro circuit applications. The group was founded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy. You could now start figuring how best to use this amazing material.

The newest attack arsenal brought to you by SteadiCopter
Get your hand on this newest of rotary winged Unmanned Automated Vehicle (UAV) if you can. It is a helicopter with a patented system for controlling airborne hovering and it is the latest arsenal for fighting terrorist. Designed by an Israeli defense team, this UAV can be armed and remotely controlled for seeking guerilla hideouts and will be especially useful for action in Afghanistan. Unlike fixed winged UAV, this copter can hover in a position for accurate picture capture. Assisted by an onboard GPS system, the vehicle can be used to accurately launch weapons at sites that are dangerous to conventional weaponries. Looks like the good guys are going to have a field day!
