TVA said its integrated assessment of the two alternatives (build all new or complete unit 1) has resulted in identifying the completion of unit 1 (one of the partially completed B&W units) as the preferred project. The FEIS is the fourth of five detailed studies being prepared to support a future decision by the TVA …

Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software MIT Technology Review – Scientists have created the smallest ever laser capable of operating at room temperature. The device is less than one cubic micron–less than the wavelength of the light it emits. It is the first sub-wavelength laser that doesn’t require cryogenic cooling. Besides high-speed …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News   Computer Software Lawrenceville Plasma Physics reports good progress in March, 2010. At the beginning of March, good shots (those without pre-firing and with pinches) were a bit under 50% of the shots we fired. Since mid-month, we have increased that to 90% good shots. The two time-of-flight neutron …

Older image of nanoionic memory Scientists at Arizona State University have developed an elegant method for significantly improving the memory capacity of electronic chips. The researchers have shown that they can build stackable memory based on “ionic memory technology,” which could make them ideal candidates for storage cells in high-density memory. Best of all, the …
Photorealistic images of carpet cloaks (9 page pdf) Using home-built dedicated ray-tracing software, we simulate photorealistic images of sceneries in three dimensions including dielectric carpet cloaks – i.e., continuously varying refractive-index distributions that allow for invisibility cloaking of a bump in a metallic carpet. Results for the ideal and for a simplified cloak are shown. …
