The Shroud of Turin: Hoax Against Reality
2008-03-24 15:37:00 'The 1988 analysis could be re-made.'For over 7 centuries, the tightly woven linen strip, displaying the vague image of a bearded man, has been worshiped as the burial shroud of Jesus. Texts signal the existence of the shroud since the first century. Two decades ago, radiocarbon dating showed that the Shroud of Turin had been just a medieval hoax. It is a morbid interest mixing science and religion. And the religious part does not want to give up. Now, the Oxford team that made the analysis wants to update the results based on subsequent technical advances. Those opposing the hoax variant can't wait."Now that we’re 20 years later, the technology certainly has improved," Barrie Schwortz, the photographer involved in the '80s Shroud of Turin Project and making part of the contester camp, told TODAY’s Matt Lauer.In 1978, scientists were allowed to take a look at the fabric kept at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Turin, Italy.

New Rubber-like Material Can Heal Itself
2008-03-22 16:48:00 'It sounds likes something from a sci-fi movie: a rubber-like material that can fuse itself back together after being snapped in two.'As anyone who's shot a rubber band across a room knows, standard rubbers are very flexible ? they can stretch by several hundred percent.But if you've pulled just a little too hard on that rubber band, you also know it can suddenly (and painfully) snap in two.Ludwik Leibler of the Industrial Physics and Chemistry Higher Education Institution in Paris and his colleagues have solved the broken rubber band problem by creating a material that stretches like rubber, snaps like rubber, but then will mend itself if its two broken ends are brought back together.The new stuf, made from fatty acids and urea, is translucent and can have a yellowish tint, Leibler says.The bonds between the molecules in the material, called hydrogen bonds , are what give the new rubber its self-healing ability.

Prize-Winning Seismologist Embraces Earth's Little Faults
2008-03-20 15:24:00 'Seismologists say their science can be easily divided into two eras: before and after Hiroo Kanamori.'Dr. Hiroo Kanamori discusses his innovations in earthquake measurements and early-warning systems at his Kyoto Prize presentation at the University of California at San Diego this week. A California Institute of Technology professor emeritus and newly christened Kyoto Prize honoree, Kanamori led the earthquake research that resulted in the moment-magnitude scale, a better way to measure quakes than the Richter scale it replaced in the 1970s. The moment-magnitude scale is not a pure instrument measurement. It accounts for the area of land that ruptures in a quake and how far it moves.Today Kanamori is interested in a different kind of moment: the first moments of an earthquake, when long-period waves can give warning of the intensity and damage to come. Kanamori sees an opportunity to use those few seconds of lead time to protect lives and property from catastrophe. He now commits... More About: Winning

Blow Things Up Eco-Friendly Style

We just can't help it, it's in our human nature.

That wouldn't be such a big deal, however all the different chemicals associated with pyrotechnic substances are generally pollutants."No other application in the field of chemistry has such a positive association for the general population as fireworks," says Thomas Klapötke from the University of Munich.

Truly Wire-Free Earbuds, Glove-Friendly GPS Handheld, Tough-as-Nails Videoc
2008-03-17 07:36:00 'Wire s?! We Don't Need No Stinking Wires!'All hail the Sennheiser MX W1, the world's first truly wireless earbuds. There's no tether to your MP3 player, nothing connecting the buds to one another, and they play nice with any device sporting a standard 3.5-mm jack. Plug the matchbook-sized transmitter into, say, your iPod's headphone port, use the integrated elastic strap to fasten it to the player, and stow the bundle up to 30 feet away. The phones use a new wireless protocol called Kleer, which transmits uncompressed tunage at up to 2.37 Mbytes per second, more than enough for CD-quality audio. And don't worry about running out of juice. The earbuds' battery life is five hours, and their holster (pictured) doubles as the charger. Power up the case at home, and it will hold enough zap to treat the buds to three 15-minute quick charges.MX W1: $600, sennheiser.comTrail HandYou are on the precipice of backwoods Babylon: powder untouched since the Cretaceous, the perfect run you...

This Technology May Reveal Mind's Secrets
2008-03-13 14:54:00 'Over the last 10 years, our knowledge in this area has jumped from the Wright brothers to the Concord," observed David Lewis, cofounder of the Mind Lab in London. "Ten years ago, the equipment we used to measure brain activity had to be pushed around on a trolley. Now it can fit in a handbag.'Through a study using brain scanning technology called "functional magnetic resonance imaging," which records mental activity, neuroscientists at the University of California at Berkeley have gained greater insight into how the human brain "sees" objects.The researchers used fMRI modeling of how subjects responded to various images as the basis for predicting their responses to new images, according to an article published in the peer review publication Nature.Two people were shown 1,750 different pictures as they were monitored by fMRI. The team then used the subjects' earlier brain responses to predict what their responses would be to 120 as yet unseen images. The modeling was accurate 72... More About: Technology , Secrets

Are Smart People Drawn To The Arts Or Does Arts Training Make People Smarte
2008-03-07 05:20:00 ScienceDaily (Mar. 6, 2008) — Learning, Arts , and the Brain, a study three years in the making, is the result of research by cognitive neuroscientists from seven leading universities across the United States. In the Dana Consortium study, researchers grappled with a fundamental question: Are smart people drawn to the arts or does arts training make people smarter?For the first time, coordinated, multi-university scientific research brings us closer to answering that question. Learning, Arts, and the Brain advances our understanding of the effects of music, dance, and drama education on other types of learning. Children motivated in the arts develop attention skills and strategies for memory retrieval that also apply to other subject areas.The research was led by Dr. Michael S. Gazzaniga of the University of California at Santa Barbara. “A life-affirming dimension is opening up in neuroscience,” said Dr. Gazzaniga, “to discover how the performance and appreciation of the art...

These smart holograms could soon be used ?by diabetics to check their blood-sugar levels, by patients with kidney disorders to check on adrenaline levels or by security forces to detect chemicals like anthrax after a terrorist attack.? And today, moisture sensitive sensor holograms are used to verify the presence (or absence) of free water in aviation fuel. But read more?Smart holograms for healthYou can see above an example of how these smart holograms can be used. ?Smart holograms are recorded in polymers specifically designed to change in response to physical, chemical or biological stimuli thanks to the incorporation of functional or reactive groups.

Windows 7 debut in 2009? Another reason to skip Vista
2008-01-23 06:04:00 If Windows 7 really is scheduled to make an appearance during the second half of 2009, does this mean that making the move to Vista is now a pointless effort?TG Daily claim to have uncovered a roadmap for Windows 7 whichWindows 7 debut in 2009? Another reason to skip Vista suggests that Windows 7 is being fast-tracked:Several industry sources have confirmed to TG Daily that a very early version of Windows 7, previously code-named Blackcomb Vienna, already has been shipped to ?key partners? as a ?Milestone 1? (M1) code drop for validation purposes. A roadmap received by TG Daily indicates that the new operating system will be introduced in the second half of 2009.While it has generally been believed that Windows 7 was scheduled for a 2010 debut, Microsoft has revised the roadmap and apparently moved up the release date by a few months: A recently distributed roadmap of the OS lists a release to manufacturing in H2 2009.

Carbon nanotube carpet darkest thing ever made
More articles from this author:2008-01-23 05:56:00 'A loosely packed "carpet" of carbon nanotubes is the darkest material ever made, according to researchers from Rice University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.'The carpet consists of nanotubes--hollow, honeycombed tubes made from carbon atoms-- standing vertically. Instead of being tightly packed together, the researchers went for a low density arrangement, complete with spaces and gaps, sort of like a box of dried spaghetti. Light striking the nanotubes as well as the gaps gets absorbed. When light gets absorbed, black (the absence of light) results. The nanotubes were also specially manufactured to have a more random arrangement of atoms, further reducing reflectivity. (Again, think of trying to look into a box of spaghetti. Not easy.)The nanocarpet is in the middle. Former record holder to the left.(Credit: RPI)This resulted in a material that reflects only 0.045 percent of the light that strikes it.
