Mirage effect from thermally modulated transparent carbon nanotube sheets (2 pages) The single-beam mirage effect, also known as photothermal deflection, is studied using a free-standing, highly aligned carbon nanotube aerogel sheet as the heat source. The extremely low thermal capacitance and high heat transfer ability of these transparent forest-drawn carbon nanotube sheets enables high frequency …
Berkeley Lab, a partner in the Heavy Ion Fusion Sciences Virtual National Laboratory (HIFS VNL) with Lawrence Livermore and the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, has been a leader in developing a special kind of accelerator for experiments aimed at fusion power, called an induction accelerator. The induction principle is like a string of transformers with …

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania’s Abramson Cancer Center have discovered a novel way of treating pancreatic cancer by activating the immune system to destroy the cancer’s scaffolding. The strategy was tested in a small cohort of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer, several of whose tumors shrank substantially. The team believes their findings – and …
Plastic power: This microprocessor is made from organic materials. It is puny compared to most silicon processors, but is flexible and cheap. Credit: IMEC MIT Technology Review – Two recent developments—a plastic processor and printed memory—show that computing doesn’t have to rely on inflexible silicon. Researchers in Europe used 4,000 plastic, or organic, transistors to …
Scientists at a Taiwan university have achieved a breakthrough in cell rejuvenation by injecting four genes into a mature cell, which resets the cell’s bio-clock to a state similar to fertilization They managed to induce fibroblast cells to split into pluripotent stem cells, which are similar to embryonic cells. Chemical Review – Biomaterials for the …
What is the Mach Effect thruster pushing on? What is the relative velocity of the Far-Off Active Mass? On Earth, if you drive a car you’re pushing on the ground to go faster, and it’s very efficient, but it’s not over-unity because the ground is at a set reference velocity and doesn’t move to help …
If you “lived inside” a hologram, you could tell by measuring the blurring. Fermilab is building a interferometer to test space time for holographic blurring. Welcome Redditors – This article has made the front page of Reddit Possible consequence of holography Hypothesis: observable correlations are encoded on light sheets and limited by information capacity of …
