1. Ecat World – Defkalion Green Technologies released a short video of some testing taking place on one of their “bare” reactors. Recently the company issued an invitation for qualified professional organizations to come and do some testing at their Greek facilities — so this gives some idea of what they will be dealing with. …
Cold Fusion Times – As part of the IAP Course on COLD FUSION at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dr. Mitchell Swartz, JET Energy, and Prof. Peter Hagelstein demonstrated cold fusion openly for scientists and engineers. The demonstration was a two day part of the detailed, yet overview, seven day course run by Prof. Hagelstein …
EEtimes – newer versions of Wi-Fi will improve connectivity and enable content to be streamed from tablets to TVs. Broadcom is pushing what it calls 5G Wi-Fi, based on the 802.11ac version of the Wi-Fi spec. The next major innovation in Wi-Fi (6G Wi-Fi) will be the emergence of the 802.11ad standard, which operates in …
Stanford researchers have designed a new technology that could lead to wireless charging of electric vehicles while they cruise down the highway. This wireless transfer scheme has an efficiency of 97 percent. The transfer range is one fifteenth of the wavelength. The range is 2 meters for a 10 megahertz system. The transfer efficiency can …
ASTAR Research Singapore – A fabrication method that does not require etching and pattern transfer pushes recording densities in bit-patterned media to 3.3 terabits per square inch. There are two common approaches to increasing the recording density of granular media: one is to reduce the grain size and the other is to reduce the number …
ASTAR singapore research – Magnetic random-access memory based on new spin transfer technology achieves higher storage density by packing multiple bits of data into each memory cell. Solid-state memory is seeing an increase in demand due to the emergence of portable devices such as tablet computers and smart phones. Spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM) …
Technische Universitaet Muenchen – Extremely thin, more stable than steel and widely applicable: the material graphene is full of interesting properties. As such, it is currently the shining star among the electric conductors. Photodetectors made with graphene can process and conduct both light signals and electric signals extremely fast. Upon optical stimulation, graphene generates a …
China Daily – China will likely be approving only three or four projects each year from 2012-2015. This will be 12 to 15 reactors in the remainder of the five year planning period. The country had been accelerating its nuclear development since 2008, with 14 reactors approved in 2008 and six in 2009. The slowdown …
Dear Astronomer has Carnival of Space 234 Vintage Space has a take on Newt Gingrich’s plan to have an American lunar base up and running by the end of his second term in 2020. Vintage Space thinks a Moon base is a horrible idea, and suggest we shouldn’t take his plans of lunar domination too …
The development of new materials with high (“colossal”) dielectric constants is prerequisite for the further miniaturization of electronic devices. The search for such materials and especially the clarification of the microscopic mechanisms that can lead to an enhancement of this material parameter are important goal. Most of the capacitive materials employed in modern electronics have …
EE Times – Global capital spending on 4G Long Term Evolution wireless technology is expected to reach $24.3 billion in 2013, nearly triple the projected spending of $8.7 billion of 2012, according to a report by market research firm IHS iSuppli. , pred If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on …
