Solid State Electronics journal – Ultrafast nonlinear optical effects in semiconductor quantum wells resonantly driven by strong few-cycle terahertz pulses Intraexciton transitions in semiconductor quantum wells are modulated …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Lab-on-Bead uses tiny beads studded with “pins” that match a drug to a disease marker in a single step, so researchers can test an infinite number millions of possibilities for treatments all at once. When Lab-on-Bead makes a match, it has found a viable treatment for …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software UPDATE: BP says it has successfully started to siphon oil from its leaking Gulf of Mexico well to a tanker on the surface. BP executive Kent Wells would not say how much oil was being siphoned but said the process was “working well”. BP succeeded on …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software This is a clarification of the Mach Effect propulsion experiments of Paul March. Paul March commented at Talk Polywell. The Mach-2MHz M-E test article used two, Vishay/Ceramite 500pF at 15kV, Y5U high-k ceramic caps with an e-r = ~5,000 and a DF= ~2% at 1.0 kHz …
Astro Bio looks at the telescope array sizes needed to image other planets and objects on other planets in other solar systems. * a 100-pixel image of a planet twice the width of Earth some 16.3 light years away would require the elements making up a space telescope array to be more than 43 miles …
Solterra Renewable Technologies will be producing and distributing a Thin Film Quantum Dot PV Solar Cell, which is differentiated from other traditional PV cells by a unique technology that can result in lower cost, higher efficiency, and broader spectral performance. Solterra’s Quantum Dot Solar Cell can achieve a dramatically lower manufacturing cost per watt in …
Seed Magazine looked at the work of Raphael Bousso, University of Berkeley, who has been researching the physics of the multiverse. We look up to an expanse of sky that is billions of light-years in size, but the universe may be far larger than what we are able to see. Subtle clues are beginning to …
Professor William Edelstein of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine explained to New Scientist that while interstellar space has just a couple of hydrogen atoms per cubic centimetre, as the crew of the Enterprise hit the gas pedal, a compression effect would greatly increase the number of atoms hitting the spacecraft. As the spaceship …
1. Intellectual Ventures Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft’s former chief technology officer, has assembled commonly available technology — parts used in printers, digital cameras and projectors — to make rapid lasers to shoot down mosquitoes in mid-flight. The laser mosquito zapping work was first covered here in early 2009 After hundreds of mosquitoes (which were kept in …
Fujitsu Ltd. (6702) on Wednesday successfully operated a prototype of its next-generation supercomputer, in spite of a government panel’s decision to freeze funding for the project. The Ministry of Science and others are calling for the project to be continued, and Fujitsu says it is ready to start production as soon as it gets the …
