1. Kazakhstan’s annual uranium production has doubled since 2008, according to preliminary uranium production results released by national atomic company Kazatomprom. The 17,803 tU produced by Kazakhstan in 2010 was nearly 30% up on the 14,020 tU produced in 2009 and double the amount produced in 2008. In the field of uranium conversion, Kazatomprom notes …
Hundreds of thousands of people have flooded into central Cairo, where protesters have called for a “million-strong” march to press their demand that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak cede power. Egypt’s newly appointed vice president said Mr. Mubarak has asked him to begin immediate discussions with all “political forces” on constitutional and legislative reforms. Omar Suleiman, …

This image shows a map of neural activity in the awake mouse brain, top, and pattern of brain communication when the sensory projection neurons are optically driven, bottom. The hotter colors indicate higher correlation. There are about 100 billion neurons in the human brain, and each one belongs to elaborate networks that control our behavior, …

University of Maryland researchers have made a breakthrough in the use of visible light for making tiny integrated circuits. Though their advance is probably at least a decade from commercial use, they say it could one day make it possible for companies like Intel to continue their decades long tread of making ever smaller, faster, …

Acting like a waffle iron, silicon nanodomes, each about 300 nanometers in diameter and 200 nanometers tall, imprint a honeycomb pattern of nanoscale dimples into a layer of metal within the solar cell. Stanford engineers dance with plasmonics to yield new direction for thin, inexpensive solar cells. In an article published in Advance Energy Materials, …

Computer engineers at North Carolina State University have developed hardware that allows programs to operate more efficiently by boosting the speed at which the “cores” on a computer chip communicate with each other by six times. The technology, called HAQu, is “not hardware designed to communicate data on its own, but is hardware that expedites …
