Designboom had 3709 designers from 96 different countries participated in the green life competition. This was the second place winner. ‘shelf’ by leon zhu from china won second place netizens’ choice award. ‘shelf’ can not only shield your car from long exposure to sunshine, but also can convert solar energy to electricity to power the …
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL)’s introduction of a metal-organic heat carrier, or MOHC, in the biphasic fluid may help improve thermodynamic efficiency of the heat recovery process. This image represents the molecular makeup of one of several MOHCs. 1. PNNL developed a superior type of heat-extracting fluid that could dramatically improve the economics of producing …
A 14 page pdf has been released by Professor Bolonkin Femtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic Properties A lot of the paper is discussing what amazing things would be possible if it could be done. The key part is what is trying to be accomplished and the beginnings of how. We are talking about customized atomic …
A blog makes a point that the healthcare funding battles are like generals fighting the last war. The new healthcare should focus on cures and cheap tests. This site covered the detailed statistics that most of the healthcare costs are focused on the chronic diseases for the sickest 5% of people. Curing cancer is worth …
1. Dr. Tae-Su Jang, member of technical staff in the Hynix R&D Division, will deliver the paper on June 17, 2009 that highlights the operating characteristics of Z-RAM memory technology fabricated on a 50nm DRAM process. Using a 54nm x 54nm floating-body memory bitcell, the paper presents the longest floating-body retention time reported – longer …
June 6, 1944, H-Hour was 6:30 am. It was D-day The assault was conducted in two phases: an air assault landing of American and British airborne divisions shortly after midnight, and an amphibious landing of Allied infantry and armoured divisions on the coast of France commencing at 06:30 British Double Summer Time. The operation was …
Sunlight prompts a newly developed molecular nanomotor to unclasp in this artist’s illustration. In a paper expected to appear soon in the online edition of the journal Nano Letters, a team of researchers from the University of Florida reports building a new type of “molecular nanomotor” driven only by photons, or particles of light. While …
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a membrane-penetrating nanoneedle for the targeted delivery of one or more molecules into the cytoplasm or the nucleus of living cells. In addition to ferrying tiny amounts of cargo, the nanoneedle can also be used as an electrochemical probe and as an optical biosensor. Supporting information for …
We are looking at faster computing developments based on recent breakthroughs. There are now several ways that we can get computing down to 1-2 nanometer feature or element size. These manufacturing methods could be scaled up and delivering computer hardware products within 4-10 years. Many thought that computer hardware might permanently stall at 10-20 nanometer …
Fruit flies and humans share most of their genes, including 70 percent of all known human disease genes. Taking advantage of this remarkable evolutionary conservation, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies transformed the fruit fly into a laboratory model for an innovative study of gliomas, the most common malignant brain tumors. Being able …
1. Dawning of the age of Thorium? From Resource Investor: I am personally aware of the fact that, even as I write, major American, Canadian, French and British nuclear engineering companies are forming strategic alliances to seek funding under Hatch-Reid to go forward with the development of thorium-based nuclear power reactors for the production of …
