NANO TECHNOLOGY...... vision 2008

VIA Eden-N Processor
This product is available fully ROHS-compliant.
The VIA Eden™-N is the world's smallest, lowest power and most secure native x86 processor and is opening up exciting new possibilities for innovation in an almost unlimited variety of compact Personal Electronics and mobile device designs. Based on the C5P Nehemiah core, the VIA Eden-N delivers enhanced digital media performance with the industry's most advanced embedded hardware-based security technologies and is designed to operate with passive cooling due to its ultra low power consumption.
World's Smallest Native x86 Processor

Featuring the tiny nanoBGA package measuring a mere 15mm x 15mm, the VIA Eden-N is the world's smallest native x86 processor.
ntegrating a complete set of advanced computing, multimedia and connectivity features into an incredibly small form factor, the ground-breaking VIA EPIA N Nano-ITX mainboard is set to expand the reach of the x86 architecture to a new wave of Personal Electronics and commercial devices that require full compatibility with PC hardware and software.
World's Lowest Power Native x86 Processor
Based on the C5P Nehemiah core architecture, the VIA Eden-N processor delivers the industry's lowest levels of power consumption resulting in enhanced thermal characteristics that allow it to achieve a maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) of only 2.5 watts at 533MHz, 5 watts at 800 MHz and 7 watts at 1GHz.
The low power consumption of the VIA Eden-N means that it needs minimal cooling, enabling fanless operation and also ensuring increased reliability for systems that need to run 24/7. This also means that it can operate with small, fanless 12V DC power boards and less or even no case fans, providing system designers with increased freedom for innovation with quiet, aesthetically pleasing systems for the living room.VLSI Design, 2006.

Summary: This tutorial present the key aspects of design challenges and its solutions that are being experienced in VLSI design in the era of nanotechnology. The focus is on design challenges that are experienced in microprocessor designs. It captures the design issues in the areas of high level architectural modeling, design for manufacturability (DFM), layout synthesis, standard cell design, and performance verification. It describes the requirements to meet power, timing, physical dimension and process portability goals with nanotechnology. It also addresses the pre and post silicon verification difficulties that have a direct impact on taking the product to market.
NANO Bio Technology
Today we have slim line wafer thin monitors with flat screens and much slimmer computer bases with more power than ever before, due to the smaller circuits boards inside. The word Nano technology derives from the word Nano meter which is one thousandth of a micron, which is roughly the size of a single molecule.
LITHIUM cell
Nano technology is the Nanostudy, manufacture and manipulation of any small structure or machine that can be made of as little as one molecule. Nano technology has only been made possible by the advancement in microscopic tools designed for looking at and allowing manipulation of single molecules.

This is not as far fetched as it might sound as DNA molecules can be mounted onto microchips and may eventually come to replace the microchips with electron flow channels etched in silicon. Biochips such as theses are DNA based processors that can take advantage of and use DNA`s extraordinary capacity to store information.

Biochips are able to exploit the properties of DNA in order to solve complex computational problems, this put very simple means that they are used to do math.
