...making it stronger on earth. The next generation of supercomputers that make billions of calculations per second may use chips that will be born in orbit. Reason: space appears to be the place to produce ultra-pure crystals, free of defects caused by gravity, that can replace conventional silicon chips...
...line IBM PC AT. To distinguish between these machines, consumers have to measure memory in kilobytes and disc storage in megabytes. To understand the pros and cons of IBM-compatible computers built by AT&T, Compaq or Hewlett-Packard, they must learn to identify silicon chips by name and measure their speeds in millions of cycles per second...
...computer industry has come of age: it now has its own museum. Appropriately enough, the museum, the only one of its kind in the world, is not to be found in the California computer hub of "Silicon Valley," but within confines of Route 128 in historical Boston...
Using satellite compiled data dating back to 1979, the scientist has determined that supernovae explosions have produced massive quantities of chemicals such as sulpher, calcium, argon and silicon...
...clear standout among the young companies has been LSI Logic. Since it was founded in 1981, the Silicon Valley firm has become a key supplier of customized logic chips to major computer makers, telecommunications companies and the aerospace industry. LSI President Corrigan, former chairman of Fairchild Camera and Instrument, boasts that his engineers apply "more brains per square inch" to the task of designing chips. Investors seem to agree. LSI Logic was able to raise $152 million by selling stock to an eager public...
