The O’Brien Institute plans to combine its expertise in tissue regeneration and stem cell technology, as well as more traditional surgical methods, to help people with injured and amputated arms …
Using data from a NASA radar that flew aboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, scientists have detected ice deposits near the moon’s north pole. NASA’s Mini-SAR instrument, a lightweight, synthetic aperture radar, found more than 40 small craters with water ice. The craters range in size from 1 to 9 miles (2 to15 km) in diameter. Although …
With 12 13 14 gold Medals and Three Two zero Events to finish. Canada is assured of winning the most gold medals in the Vancouver Winter Olympic games of 2010. Germany has 10 and only has the chance to win the 50 km cross country, which will likely be won by someone from Norway. Canada …
A class of molecules whose size, structure and chemical composition have been optimized for photonic use could provide the demanding combination of properties needed to serve as the foundation for low-power, high-speed all-optical signal processing. All-optical switching could allow dramatic speed increases in telecommunications by eliminating the need to convert photonic signals to electronic signals …
Junctionless transistors could be implemented commercially at around the 20-nm manufacturing node. The junctionless transistor scales far better than a conventional transistor which will need to implant and control complex dopant gradients and profiles in diminishing distances. “The junctionless device does scale better. You still need the high resolution etching but you don’t have to …
Metamaterial sound proofing from materials less than an inch thick would be as good as 4 foot thick walls for soundproofing. People outside a metamaterial sound proofed room – no one will hear you screaming inside Applied Physics Letters – Acoustic metamaterial panels for sound attenuation in the 50–1000 Hz regime The Hong Kong University …
This article is being redone as there were significant inaccuracies derived from the source material. The Advanced Vehicle Research Center is in fact *not* pursuing fusion propulsion research anywhere, for anyone. The organization that is in fact pursuing this research is the World Institute for Science and Engineering (WISE). The plan is for one of …
