Lot of news posting lately, hope you can keep up!

Via Arena are giving away a trip to Computex Taipei 2002. Could be a nice prize! Thanks Mr Grimm
Anthrox sent a link to an article on thermoelectric materials and their uses. Very interesting read. A snip : "These materials, which can directly convert heat into electricity (and vice versa), could be a boon for everything from power generation to microprocessor cooling".
Also Silicon Valley may soon have to change its name. Here's why : "A team of scientists led by Matthias Schreck of the University of Augsburg in Germany has developed a crystalline diamond film that could produce more resilient semiconductor chips than those made from silicon. Manufacturers plan to build a diamond chip that can withstand temperatures of 500 °C, compared to only about 150 °C for silicon chips."
SLCentral.com have an article entitled Foveon X3 Technology In-Depth. The article talks about Foveon's new X3 technology for image sensors which is said to produce 2-3 times the image-producing power of an image sensor now. "... it can capture three colors per pixel ... the Foveon X3 image sensor uses three separate layers which can absorb different wavelengths of light at different depths with each layer capturing a different color." Thanks Dave
