"The crossbar latch provides a key element
needed for building a computer using nanometer-sized devices that are
relatively inexpensive and easy to build.
The experimentally demonstrated latch consists of a single wire
acting as a signal line, crossed by two control lines with an
electrically switchable molecular-scale junction where they intersect."
The research on the crossbar latch was partially supported by the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA ).cambridgesoundworks.

PlayDock MP3 - Powerful Portable One-Piece Speaker System That Turns Zen Micro and Other MP3 Players into a High-Fidelity Boom Box

, Cambridge SoundWorks(R) has
introduced the next-generation boom box -- PlayDock MP3(TM), a powerful,
transportable speaker system that lets users of select MP3 players bring full
amplified sound to any location.
"PlayDock is known for delivering rich, high fidelity audio with amazing
power for a transportable speaker system, and surprisingly rivals the audio
quality of a home stereo," said Rob Mainiero, vice president and general
manager of Cambridge SoundWorks. PlayDock versions are also available to support
Delphi's Roady (R) Satellite Radio receiver. The company sells its
award-winning line through its retail stores, online at
http://www. or Creative Technology Ltd in the United States
and/or other countries.

----HP
(NYSE:HPQ)(Nasdaq:HPQ) today announced its researchers have proven
that a technology they invented could replace the transistor -- the
fundamental building block of computers for the last half century --
leading to a new way to construct computers in the future.
"We have previously demonstrated that we could make a working
memory with molecular-scale junctions and logic devices that could
perform simple logic operations such as AND and OR," Stewart said.
"With the crossbar latch, we now have the final component
theoretically needed for performing the multiple processing steps
required for useful computing at the nanoscale.9 billion. 31, 2004 ."

In a paper published in today's Journal of Applied Physics, three
members of HP Labs' Quantum Science Research (QSR) group propose and
demonstrate a "crossbar latch," which provides the signal restoration
and inversion required for general computing without the need for
transistors. It features excellent mid-bass, a wide, rich bass
response, and full, warm sound output without distortion -- with equal
proficiency from classical woodwinds to heavy metal blasts.
PlayDock MP3's rechargeable battery offers up to 10 hours of cord-free music .

The technology could result in computers that are
thousands of times more powerful than those that exist today. However, it is
generally believed that transistors will not be able to shrink down to
the size of a few nanometers and remain operable. The paper underwent rigorous peer review before being
