Blacklight power claims a 50kw prototype device UPDATE: Wikipedia details the controversy and doubts about the Hydrino theory upon which Blacklight Power bases their device. Mills’ work is not accepted by the scientific community, and has been largely ignored by it (as of November 2007, only four papers discussing hydrinos were present in the arXiv …
Using light instead of wires to send information between the computer cores of a computer chip can be 100 times faster and use 10 times less power than wires. The new IBM technology aims to enable a power-efficient method to connect hundreds or thousands of cores together on a tiny chip by eliminating the wires …
A very interesting and relatively simple theory of everything (including gravity) The theory should be testable with new particle colliders. E8 polytope All fields of the standard model and gravity are unifed as an E8 principal bundleconnection. A non-compact real form of the E8 Lie algebra has G2 and F4 subalgebras which break down to …
Allan Greenleaf, professor of mathematics at the University of Rochester, and his coauthors lay out the possibility of building a sort of invisible tunnel between two points in space. Invisible tunnel Current technology can create objects invisible only to microwave radiation, but the mathematical theory allows for the wormhole effect for electromagnetic waves of all …
By giving ordinary adult mice a drug – a synthetic designed to mimic fat – Salk Institute scientist Dr. Ronald M. Evans is now able to chemically switch on PPAR-d, the master regulator that controls the ability of cells to burn fat. Even when the mice are not active, turning on the chemical switch activates …
The European Union and other countries are discussing the funding of a 1 billion laser fusion project as a backup to the ITER fusion project. The bid to the European Union is to build an international laboratory, called “HiPER”, to run in parallel with the ITER machine. Bureaucrats in Brussels are interested. Canada and Russia …
From Eric Drexler’s website (e-drexler.com), is Eric’s comment on the first report from the National Academies Molecular Manufacturing. (pdf through link) I had previously commented in Sept, 2006 about the release of the NNI report Eric Drexler’s Comment on the report In its conclusion, the committee notes that it is difficult to analyze complex systems …
A recent study of 11 men was performed to show the safety of gene transfer procedure and it also showed effectiveness for treating erectile disfunction Gene transfer could also treat asthma, overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome. Gene transfer is gene therapy lite, because it does not change your DNA but adds protein production to …
