EE Times – Global capital spending on 4G Long Term Evolution wireless technology is expected to reach $24.3 billion in 2013, nearly triple the projected spending of $8.7 billion of 2012, according to a report by market research firm IHS iSuppli. , pred If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on …
A light trajectory is shown against the distribution of the εσ values. The light ray enters the device, completes a loop, bounces off the mirror twice and leaves the cloak with its original direction restored (A). Panel (B) gives a closer view of the vicinity of the inner branch of the cloak. Objects placed within …
Researchers have built the first functional anal sphincters in the laboratory, suggesting a potential future treatment for both fecal and urinary incontinence. Made from muscle and nerve cells, the sphincters developed a blood supply and maintained function when implanted in mice. The results are reported in the medical journal Gastroenterology. This work could also eventually …
IEEE Spectrum has an updated look at the spacecraft on a chip technology being developed by Mason Peck. In the fall of 2005 at Cornell University, graduate student Justin Atchison and Mason Peck set out to create such miniature spacecraft. The aim of our project, called Sprite, is to fit everything a satellite might need …
Last fall, two quarter-scale Piper Cub aircraft (two UAVs) and a Porsche Cayenne operated without any humans at the controls on an army robotics rodeo. Each robot had an onboard computer running collaborative software that transformed the three machines into an autonomous, interoperable system. Back in 2000, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) had fewer …
Super strong nanometals are beginning to play an important role in making cars even lighter, enabling them to stand collisions without fatal consequences for the passengers. A PhD student at Risø DTU has discovered a new phenomenon that will make nanometals more useful in practice. Recently, a young PhD student from the Materials Research Division …
Caltech researchers are the first to have made an artificial neural network out of DNA, creating a circuit of interacting molecules that can recall memories based on incomplete patterns, just as a brain can. “The brain is incredible,” says Lulu Qian, a Caltech senior postdoctoral scholar in bioengineering and lead author on the paper describing …
Researchers at the University of Southampton develop a new graphene transistor with 1000 times higher on/off switching ratio. The new transistor achieves a record high-switching performance which will make our future electronic devices – such as PDAs and computers – even more functional and high-performance. In a paper to be published in Electronics Letters on …
USA Today and others are reporting of a lawsuit against Taco Bell for the meat in their Tacos. The suit claims that the taco meat at Taco Bell is only 36% beef, which is less than the USDA minimum of 40% for taco meat filling. The suit seeks to have Taco Bell either rename their …
