On 10 February 2017, the London-based charity Cancer Research UK announced that a team of molecular biologists, astronomers and game designers would receive up to £20 million (US$25 million) over the next five years to develop its interactive virtual-reality map of breast cancers. Currently there are animations for tumor that allow virtual flew throughs. However, …
Elon Musk argues that applying engineering effort to refining the production process is a better use of man-hours than trying to wring the last little bits of efficiency out of his cars. An engineer working on improving the factory line is five to 10 times more productive than that same effort put on the product …
Researchers have created unusually intelligent mice by altering a single gene and as a result the mice were also less likely to feel anxiety or recall fear. The study, led by the University of Leeds and Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto, is published today in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology. It sheds light on the molecular underpinnings …
The Carnival of Nuclear Energy 157 is up at Hiroshima Syndrome. Yes Vermont Yankee looks at what the land use requirements would be to achieve 90% renewables by 2050 in Vermont. * 18,000 GWh of electricity, Vermont would need to build 140 wind farms with the approximate output of Lowell Mountain’s 21-turbine facility. According to …
Metabolomx, has developed technology enabling the identification of lung cancer from breath. Using the first generation of our breath analysis system, the Cleveland Clinic announced the results of a 237 subject trial at the American College of Chest Physicians conference in November 2010, reporting 81%, accuracy of lung cancer detection, comparable to CT scan, the …

Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Toshiba Corp. has developed technology for a nanowire transistor, a major candidate for system LSI in the 16-nm generation and beyond. The company said it has achieved 1-mA per micron on-current, the world’s highest level for a nanowire transistor, by reducing parasitic resistance and improving the …
Nuclear fusion or any larger power source that can be put into space combined with superconductors will enable antimatter production that can be 100,000 to one million times more effient in terms of cost than earth based systems. * A $50-100 million system with 200 KW of power using current (or conservatively within four year …
EETimes reports from International Solid State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) For processors, silicon could scale to the 7.9-nm node, which is slated for 2024. Reasons Graphene is the post-CMOS Favorite by James Meindl, director of the Joseph M. Pettit Microelectronics Research Center : 1. Graphene has a mechanical strength-to-weight ratio exceeding that of any known material. …
