Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Lawrenceville Plasma Physics (LPP) has a goal of generating 30,000 joules with each nuclear fusion pulse. This would be net energy with conversion to elecricity. So if 100,000 joules was put in from the capacitors then they would need say 200,000 joules back and convert that …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Stephen Hawking has repeated his long-held belief that intelligent aliens are likely to exist, and that a visit by them to present-day humanity would probably have unfortunate consequences for us. * To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational… If aliens …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News   Computer Software According to figures released by the Japan Atomic Industrial Forum (JAIF), the weighted average capacity factor of the country’s fleet of 54 power reactors, with a combined capacity of 48,847 MWe, was 65.7% during the year to the end of March 2010. This compares with an …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News   Computer Software 1. The researchers used a specially engineered virus to deliver extra copies of the gene for Nerve growth factor (NGF) into the hearts of mice. Thirty days after having a heart attack, 80 per cent of the mice that received this treatment were still alive, compared …
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 …
Applied Physics Letters – Single step, complementary doping of graphene A single-step doping method capable of high resolution n- and p-type doping of large area graphene is presented. Thin films of hydrogen silsesquoxane on exfoliated graphene are used to demonstrate both electron and hole doping through control of the polymer cross-linking process. This dual-doping is …
Angstron Materials gets a patent for their nano-graphene supercapacitors Angstron’s NGPs (nano graphene platelets) offer a cost effective, high performance alternative to carbon nanotubes and nanofibers. The first company to isolate and successfully produce large quantities of single-layer and multi-layer graphene sheets, Angstron’s nano graphene solutions eliminate the viscosity and dispersion problems associated with processing …
PC World says to expect the Apple Tablet to be released on Jan 27, 2010 and expect it to be like a giant iPod touch For business users, the tablet should offer access to supersized versions of iPhone applications, which could drive corporate acceptance of both devices. iPhone 4.0 software, expected to be introduced as …
1. Stem cell facelift are available in India and are somewhat like Botox but use stem cells instead of poison Stem cell facelift is carried out under local anaesthesia and fat is harvested from the patient’s body manually using a syringe, usually from the lower abdomen where there is a plentiful supply. The fat is …
New Nvidia Fermi-Based Tesla products deliver the performance of a CPU-based cluster at one-tenth the cost and one-twentieth the power The Tesla 20-series GPUs combine parallel computing features that have never been offered on a single device before. These include: * Support for the next generation IEEE 754-2008 double precision floating point standard * ECC …
