Craig Venter and his Team have Made Artificial Life

Ad Support : Nano Technology   Netbook    Technology News    Computer Software Craig Venters team copied an existing bacterial genome. They sequenced its genetic code and then used synthesis machines to chemically construct a copy. The synthetic DNA was transferred to a host cell. The resulting microbe then looked and behaved like the species “dictated” by the synthetic …

Mach Effect Propulsion Experiment May Generate 50 Milli-Newtons in 2010

Ad Support : Nano Technology   Netbook    Technology News    Computer Software > If the Mach Effect is real [mass fluctations) and behaves as theorized (with some experimental confirmation) by James Woodward and the effect scales up as expected then we can create propellentless space drive. It appears that the latest research work by James Woodward is validating …

Continuing Climategate Coverage

Clive Crook at the Atlantic reviews the continuing Climategate coverage. The closed-mindedness of these supposed men of science, their willingness to go to any lengths to defend a preconceived message, is surprising even to me. The stink of intellectual corruption is overpowering. One theme, in addition to those already mentioned about the suppression of dissent, …

Optical transmission record breaks 100 Petabit per second kilometer Which Ten Times Capacity of Current Undersea Cables

Scientists in Bell Labs, the Alcatel’s research arm, have set a new optical transmission record of more than 100 Petabits per second.kilometer (equivalent to 100 million Gigabits per second.kilometer). This transmission experiment involved sending the equivalent of 400 DVDs per second over 7,000 kilometers, roughly the distance between Paris and Chicago. This is the highest …
