Cheoptics360 Holographic Display
2007-11-27 11:31:00 Already generating industry buzz, the new Cheoptics360™ is set to revolutionize product displays. With revolving video images, that can be seen 360° in all ambient light conditions, Cheoptics360™ brings new life to product launches, demos, and branding in general. - VizooCheoptics360 is a four-sided pyramid manufactured of transparent material so the audience can see through it from every side. Inside the pyramid chamber the audience can see objects that seem to be freely floating video images and computer graphics.This is done through surface mirroring and reflections. The pyramid itself is used as a kind of prism that assembles light from four video projections into a solid image. - I4U News More About: Display , Holo
Slowing light down to the speed of a bicycle and turning it into matter
2007-11-25 14:19:00 Ultraslow light propagation in Bose–Einstein condensates represents an extreme example of resonant light manipulation using cold atoms. Here we demonstrate that a slow light pulse can be stopped and stored in one Bose–Einstein condensate and subsequently revived from a totally different condensate, 160 mum away; information is transferred through conversion of the optical pulse into a travelling matter wave. - NatureVideo: nature.com/nature/videoarchive/trickofthe light More About: Matter , Light , Speed , Bicycle
Ferrofluid: Liquid Magnets
2007-11-15 11:03:00 A ferrofluid (from the Latin ferrum, meaning iron) is a liquid which becomes strongly polarised in the presence of a magnetic field.

"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."
2007-10-13 22:40:00 [..] The Many-Worlds theory also certainly contradicts the idea of Occam's razor, that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. Even stranger is the implication by the Many-Worlds theory that time doesn't exist in a coherent, linear motion. Instead, it moves in jumps and starts, existing not as a line, but as branches. These branches are as numerous as the number of consequences to all of the actions that have ever been taken. [..] - How Stuff Works More About: Theory , Quantum , Theo
