Superhard, Super Slippery Diamonds
2008-07-16 09:41:00 They call diamonds ?ice,? and not just because they sparkle. Engineers and physicists have long studied diamond because even though the material is as hard as an ice ball to the head, diamond slips and slides with remarkably low friction, making it an ideal material or coating for seals, high performance tools and high-tech moving parts.Robert Carpick, associate professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at the University of Pennsylvania, and his group led a collaboration with researchers from Argonne National Laboratories, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Florida to determine what makes diamond films such slippery customers, settling a debate on the scientific origin of its properties and providing new knowledge that will help create the next generation of super low friction materials.The Penn experiments, the first study of diamond friction convincingly supported by spectroscopy, looked at two of the main hypotheses posited...

Wired: Iron Man's suit defies physics
2008-05-05 06:52:00 Although sometimes I wish I have the smarts to become a nuclear physicist, most of the time I'm glad I don't. Especially after reading Wired's amusing article on why Iron Man's suit defies physics.Here's one of the contentions on Iron Man's repulsor rays:Similarly, the directed energy weapons Iron Man uses, such as the "repulsor rays" built into the palms of his gloves, should require that Stark drag along a large power generator whenever he faces off against the Mandarin or Titanium Man. I'm not exactly sure what a "repulsor ray" is, but if it's anything like a high-power laser, then the energy demands are considerable.Even assuming that Iron Man can convert any stored energy in his suit into laser light with 100 percent efficiency, then to generate a beam powerful enough to melt a fist-size hole through a half-inch thick steel plate (which any comic book fan can tell you is well within Shellhead's capabilities) would require an energy pulse of more than 2 gigawatts of pow...

Phun: the 2d physics sandbox! - verdict? AWESOME.

I like discovering open source free applications that satisfy this most of all. Some examples of great programs: tux paint and tux typing. Phun is different. Where those two programs excel in teaching kids, Phun is just fun. It's interactive in a way that not many programs are. It actually has the playability that feels much like an RTS. It does what you make it do now. You add something and the environment acts upon it.
