Waste management :IBM to recycle silicon for solar
2007-10-31 07:01:00
IBM announced today that it has created a process allowing its manufacturing facilities to repurpose otherwise scrap semiconductor wafers. Since the silicon wafers need to be nearly flawless to be used in computers, mobile phones, video games and other consumer electronics, the imperfect ones are normally erased with acidic chemicals and discarded. IBM had been sandblasting its flawed wafers to

Stem cells can improve memory after brain injury
2007-10-30 22:50:00
Stem cells can improve memory after brain injury New UC Irvine research is among the first to demonstrate that neural stem cells may help to restore memory after brain damage. In the study, mice with brain injuries experienced enhanced memory -- similar to the level found in healthy mice -- up to three months after receiving a stem cell treatment. Scientists believe the stem cells secreted

New technology improves the reliability of wind turbines
2007-10-30 10:25:00
The world's first commercial Brushless Doubly-Fed Generator (BDFG) is to be installed on a 20kW turbine at or close to the University of Cambridge Engineering Department's Electrical Engineering Division Building on the West Cambridge site by early 2008. This will help the University meet its obligations under new legislation, which requires a new building to obtain ten percent of its

String Theory's Next Top Mode
2007-10-30 10:16:00
Ernest Rutherford used to tell his physics students that if they couldn't explain a concept to a barmaid, they didn't really understand the concept. With regard to the cosmological implications of string theory, the barmaids and physicists are both struggling-a predicament that SLAC string theorist Shamit Kachru hopes to soon resolve.String theory is currently the most popular candidate for a

Laser Surgery Can Cut Flesh With Micro-explosions
2007-10-30 09:01:00
Laser Surgery Can Cut Flesh With Micro -explosions Or With Burning Lasers are at the cutting edge of surgery. From cosmetic to brain surgery, intense beams of coherent light are gradually replacing the steel scalpel for many procedures. Despite this increasing popularity, there is still a lot that scientists do not know about the ways in which laser light interacts with living tissue. Now, some

Astronomers Simulate Life And Death In The Universe Stars always evolve in the universe in large groups, known as clusters. Astronomers distinguish these formations by their age and size. The question of how star clusters are created from interstellar gas clouds and why they then develop in different ways has now been answered by researchers at the Argelander Institute for Astronomy at the

New Superlensing Technique Brings Everything into Focus
2007-10-30 07:28:00
Ultratight focusing over very short distances beats the best lenses; the discovery could bring the nanoworld up close and into focus Light cannot be focused on anything smaller than its wavelength-or so says more than a century of physics wisdom. But a new study now shows that it is possible, if light is focused extremely close to a very special kind of lens. The traditional limit on the

Message not to be Lost in Debate: Public Health Risks from Climate Change are Key Concern - Oct 26, 2007 Comment by Professor Jonathan A. Patz, University of Wisconsin, Madison With all the attention over the Bush Administration's mishandling of senate testimony by CDC Director, Julie Gerberding, I fear that the central clear message is being overshadowed by the (albeit errant) procedural

Brain acts diffrent For Creative And Noncreative Thinkers
2007-10-29 21:36:00
How brain acts for crealtivity ? Why do some people solve problems more creatively than others? Are people who think creatively different from those who tend to think in a more methodical fashion? These questions are part of a long-standing debate, with some researchers arguing that what we call "creative thought" and "noncreative thought" are not basically different. If this is the case, then

Research : Dark Matter
2007-10-29 20:29:00
We believe that most of the matter in the universe is dark, i.e. cannot be detected from the light which it emits (or fails to emit). This is "stuff" which cannot be seen directly -- so what makes us think that it exists at all? Its presence is inferred indirectly from the motions of astronomical objects, specifically stellar, galactic, and galaxy cluster/supercluster observations. It is also
