Tunneling measurements with functionalized electrodes. (A) A gold probe and a gold substrate are functionalized with a monolayer of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid, and the size of the gap between two electrodes maintained under servo control at a value such that the two monolayers do not interact with one another, resulting in a tunnel current signal that …
A Wall Street Journal article written by a Director of an Indian Think Tank This seems to be an expression of what the Indian Government is thinking about climate change * It is in the Indian government’s interest to perpetuate a weak IPCC and a toothless Mr. Pachauri at its helm * The IPCC was …
Here is the Marc Raibert interview, attached. Dr. Raibert is a former MIT Professor who founded the Boston Dynamics corporation. Dr. Raibert and his colleagues have succeeded in developing hopping, self-balancing robots that can run and traverse terrain like animals. Boston Dynamics has recently unveiled a series of sophisticated mobile robots, including Big Dog: http://www.youtube.com/bostondynamics …

Paul March updates the Mach Effect Propulsion Work indicating some new challenges have been discovered and reviews the use of the effect for communication. When trying to optimize an M-E device, there are so many conflicting design parameters to contend with that that one cannot make general assumptions and be sure of the results. I …
Attainability of high velocities for impact ignition (page pdf) by Winterberg To reach the flyer plate velocities in excess of 1000km/sec required for impact ignition, it is proposed to combine the ablation acceleration of a dense hydrogen jet by its isentropic compression in a convergent Prandtl-Meyer flow, magnetically insulated by the Nernst effect against the …
China’s Ministry of Agriculture (MoA) in approved August, 2009 to two strains of (genetically modified) GM rice and one of GM maize for small-scale field trials — the first time that China has granted safety certificates to staple food crops. A document published on the website of the MoA’s Biosafety Management Office in October said …
