Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, already the favorite of Silicon Valley, has released a last-minute campaign video outlining his views on technology.
Engineers and physicists have developed a method of measuring how strain affects thin films of silicon that could lay the foundation for faster flexible electronics.
Evidence is mounting that Silicon Valley, which previously had seemed relatively unscathed by the global economic crisis, is beginning to feel the pain.
