A mark-length write strategy for multiterabit per square inch scanned-probe memories is described that promises to increase the achievable user density by at least 50%, and potentially up to 100% or more, over conventional approaches. The new study shows how the density could be increased to 10 Tbit/in^2 or more. The viability of the write …
The British pavillion had large fiber optic elements that made an otherworldly look at a distance. There were 72 million attendees of the Shanghai 2010 world expo. The vast majority of the attendees were from across China – visited pavilions staged by more than 240 countries and organisations. I went to the expo two weeks …
In Situ Bioprinting of the Skin for Burns was presented at the American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress Researchers from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (Weixin Zhao, Tamer Aboushwareb, Dennis Dice BS, Anthony Atala, James J Yoo) showed off the results of a unique experiment involving a printer that uses living cells as …
A new study published in the Lancet indicates that India’s annual deaths from Malaria were 125 000—277 000 instead of the previous World Health Estimate of 16,000 in India. alaria accounted for a substantial minority of about 1.3 million unattended rural fever deaths attributed to infectious diseases in people younger than 70 years. Malaria deaths …
