Molecules of this compound, if you combine several types of polymer blocks of different chemical nature. In this case, the blocks are polystyrene and polyethylene.
Known that in thin films of PS-b-PEO self-comes nanostructures caused by various chemical properties of its polymers. They formed a matrix of polyethylene, which at the same distance from each other are placed vertical "pins" of polystyrene. If the area is a great film, then the order of placement of pins is broken. This does not allow use of the material, for example, to record his information, because of defective data blocks can not be considered. In the new study, scientists from the University of Berkeley, was able to maintain order in the whole area of the film.
First, specially prepared block copolymer thin film applied to the surface of industrial sapphire received no slices along the lattice planes of the links. Then the crystal was heated to high temperatures - around 1300-1500 degrees Celsius for 24 hours. Scientists are well aware that as a result of such treatment on the surface of the sapphire is formed numerous parallel ridges, the distance between the two being roughly the same.
As a result of this exposure of the PS-b-PEO is provided in the valleys between the ridges. This formation of polystyrene "pins" comes in different valleys, independently of one another. This allowed us to obtain large area films without defects. Besides the increase in the thickness of cover, allowing smooth out the traces of the ridges on the outer surface of the sapphire material.
According to researchers, the new technology will enable the media to create an unprecedented density. As a result, the disc diameter of three centimeters will fit more than 1400 gigabytes of information (for comparison, the capacity of modern single-DVD is 4.7 gigabytes).

FAS will help return the money for pre-Windows.
Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS), check whether the Russians are buying PCs preloaded with Windows operating systems to abandon this and return the money, writes the newspaper Kommersant. In early February, an investigation was launched against companies such as Acer, Asus, HP, Samsung, Dell and Toshiba.
Checking computer manufacturers will continue until the end of February. During this time antimonopolschiki find out whether there is a demand for the service to return the operating system. Also, the FAS will check whether the user, in the case of pre-operating system, the return of the money paid for a computer.
If it turns out that the demand for return of pre-service operating system is, but buyers can not take it, Anti-Monopoly Service to apply sanctions to manufacturers. What kind of sanctions are not reported.
According to the company "Finam", currently about 70 percent of computers sold in Russia with preloaded operating system Microsoft Windows. In the U.S., 90 percent of new PCs pre-Windows.
By the way, the partnership agreement Microsoft describes the procedure for returning to the pre-computer programs Corporation. Also, the agreement provides for compensation for the return of partners Microsoft software.
Note that in July 2008, a resident of St. Petersburg Vladimir Sadovnikov waived preinstalled on new computer BenQ operating system Windows Vista. After the company paid him BenQ 73,9 dollar. One of the first users who returned the money after the waiver of pre-Windows, has been a resident of Australia, received in 1998 from Toshiba 110 Australian dollars.

British scientists have decided to create a universal game emulator.
Researchers from the University of Portsmouth are developing a software emulator to play all the old video games that were released later in 1970, writes TechRadar.
The scientists note that until now no one seriously engaged in the academic catalog and the collection of archival copies of old games, although they are an important part of culture. Games, according to project leader Dr. David Anderson - one of the largest by volume mediaformatov in the world and therefore should be preserved for future generations.
The initiative to establish a so-called general-purpose emulator is part of pan-European Project KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable, "Saving portable emulyatsionnyh media"). This project aims to develop ways to protect digital objects, including text, audio files and image files, websites, databases, and video games.
In this article, TechRadar not explain how the authors of the draft are going to deal with copyright in the video games themselves, their materials, related information and firmware of popular gaming devices.
As estimated by 2010 the volume of digital data 18 million times the amount of information in books written in the history of mankind. Investigation of the British Library has shown that Europe is losing an annual 2.7 billion pounds because of the difficulty of storing old files.
