Bionic Contact Lens paves the platform of human supervision
2008-01-23 05:51:00
'The Hollywood vision of ?Bionic Eyes? is likely to come true as Scientists of Washington University has made an innovative Bionic contact lens equipped with tiny nano electrical circuits that can zoom the object and display some very useful facts, claimed researchers.'This is the first time that ientist have mounted the electronic circuit in regular contact lenses.They have also used the organic component to sooth eyes and to minimize the hazards which may be possible from the heat emission due to electronic circuit.The researchers have tested the prototype on rabbits? eyes for 20 minutes and found no side effects, claimed US scientists."This is a very small step toward that goal, but I think it's extremely promising,? said Babak Perviz, the lead researcher and an electrical engineer at the University of Washington.?The prototype does not actually light up or display information. But it proves that it is possible to build an electronic lens that is safe to wear and doesn't obst...

How Is Time Measured?
2008-01-19 07:51:00
'A technological evolution'The movements of the Earth and Moon determine the length of the years, seasons, months and days. People have observed the periodicity of the seasons and of the night sky stars patterns since prehistory. Ancient Egyptians knew that the Nile would overflow when the Sirius star raised over the line of the horizon. Some stars were associated with the seeding time in rural Europe.People also focused on the Moon's phases, determined by the incidence angle of the sunlight on the Moon, which caused the full moon, new moon or half moon. Romans based their calendar on the Moon's phases. A full cycle made a month.The day length is given by a complete spin of the Earth around its axis. A year, when the Earth has completed a tour around the Sun, is of about 365 days (but not a round number). To solve the issue, Julius Caesar introduced a system in which one 366-days year followed after three 365-days years .Later, it was found that the year was longer with 11 minut...

Molecular Evolution: Mice Given Bat-like Forelimbs Through Gene Switch
2008-01-16 16:30:00
ScienceDaily (Jan. 16, 2008) ? A research team led by Dr. Richard Behringer at MD Anderson Cancer Center reports that they have successfully switched the mouse Prx1 gene regulatory element with the Prx1 gene regulatory region from a bat -- and although these two species are separated by millions of years of evolution -- the resulting transgenic mice displayed abnormally long forelimbs.Shown above is an example of the bat species whose DNA was used to insert into the mice in the study. (Credit: Image courtesy of Dr. Richard Behringer, University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center)While forelimb length is just one of several key morphological changes that occurred during the evolution of the bat wing, this unprecedented finding demonstrates that evolution can be driven by changes in the patterns of gene expression, rather than solely by changes in the genes, themselves.Prx1 is a paired-box homeodomain transcription factor, with an established role in limb bone growth.

Motorola and Angstrom Bring the First Fuel-powered Mobile Phone
2008-01-16 16:21:00
'Providing twice the talk-time a Lithium-powered phone does.' Motorola SLVR L7Angstrom Power Inc., a company based in Vancouver, Canada, together with Motorola, the US mobile manufacturer, have completed a six-months trial using a new technologythat promises to reinvent the way mobile phones are powered. Angstrom developed a revolutionary mobile solution intended to replace the standard Lithium batteries with a platform that uses hydrogen to provide the needed power.The "Micro Hydrogen" platform includes a refillable hydrogen storage tank, advanced micro-fluidics and an innovative fuel cell architecture. Angstrom and Motorola implemented the new platform on a MOTOSLVR L7 (Motorola SLVR L7) phone, without changing the phone's looks and size (and we must say that MOTOSLVR L7 is a slim handset, having only 11.5 millimeters in thickness). With the hydrogen-powered platform, the phone managed to provide twice the talk-time than it does when equipped with a sta...

Lake Erie UFOs Are Stars on YouTube
2008-01-14 20:56:00
Waves of UFO sightings over the waters of Lake Erie are earning the great lake a reputation as a UFO hot spot. But the lake's new popularity may have more to do with a string of popular videos on YouTube than sightings of little green men."It's a hot spot," declares local ufologist Aaron Clark about the beaches of Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio. "Some believe there's a UFO base on the bottom of the lake."While not yet rivaling UFO hot spots like Mexico City or Phoenix, Lake Erie has generated enough buzz that news and documentary filmmakers are taking notice. Several Lake Erie UFO videos have made the national news, and The History Channel is airing a segment on Lake Erie UFOs, due to air in February.There have been more than 20 credible UFO sightings in the area in the last two years, according to Clark, a spokesman for the Cleveland Ufology Project, one of the oldest UFO-spotting groups in the country."There's a pattern here," says Sam Phillips, a musician who filmed a UFO hov...

Recycling Business Gets Boost from Cell Phones
2008-01-14 20:53:00
'Hundreds of millions of cellular phones are disposed of every year'Now, don't get any crazy ideas by believing that your mobile telephone device has been manufactured from anything but recycled materials. Do you believe that old machinery such as airplanes just disappear into the darkness overnight? No... they get recycled like a great part of the materials our days. Do you know how expensive it is to extract new aluminum metal from the ground, or how much precious metal is being used every year for making new electronic devices?According to recent studies, about a hundred million mobile telephone devices are beingdisposed off every year all over the world, fact that spawned a new recycling business, which unlike all the previous recycling industries makes real profit and keeps the landscape clean at the same time."The New York Times" argues that, in the U.S., a mobile telephone device is being replaced only after about a year, and China alone, due to its ever increasing economi...

'The HAARP (High frequency Active Auroral Research Program ) transmitter is operated jointly by the U.S. Navy, Air Force and several universities and is located in Gakona, eastern Alaska.' ? BJNews by Marshall Smith Since the publication of the previous article, "HAARP, Now Running at Full Power," many readers asked, "but what is HAARP doing with weather modification, mind control and those other strange experiments?" Some people have heard HAARP is being used to modify the atmosphere, affect the weather, repair the ozone layer or even control the jet-stream. Other people believe there is a world-wide network of HAARP transmitters to send out waves which can affect brain cells and control human behavior. Others believe the HAARP transmitter can emulate terrestrial waves which can produce earthquakes. The many stories about HAARP activities are too long to list here, but the primary question is: Are any of them true? And the answer is, NO! At least those activities are not occ...

Blu-ray Hammers Yet Another Nail in HD DVD's Coffin
2008-01-12 13:49:00
'Announces spectacular market dominance.'Although nothing's absolutely sure for the time being, it would seem that the next-generation format war between HD DVD and Blu-ray might end a lot sooner than expected, with HD DVD about to suffer a bitter defeat. And in order to further emphasize their market dominance,the group supporting Sony's format has issued at this year's CES a statement based on several market research reports, in which it kinda thrashes their rivals.Thus, according to sales figures from Home Media Research, Blu-ray Disc movie titles outsold HD DVD in the United States by a nearly 2-to-1 margin last year, in just about every week of the year. Furthermore, Blu-ray editions of titles released on both formats consistently outsold their HD DVD counterparts by significant margins. Moreover, the total US sales of Blu-ray movie titles topped six million in December, 2007, compared to the sales of HD DVD discs, which are yet to reach four million units.On the other han...

CES: Delphi's Dashboard of the Future
2008-01-09 04:58:00
According to Delphi's research, drivers who keep their eyes within a 20 degree range are less distracted, and therefore less likely to crash. Its four-screen dashboard prototype lets drivers keep their eyes within that range, by using video screens instead of mirrors, and putting them inside the car rather than outside.The company's ICP (Information, Convenience, Protection) system includes seven cameras: two on the sides, two in the back (a long-range camera for the highway and a short-range one for reverse), twoin the interior (one replaces the rear-view mirror, the other keeps an eye on those bickering kids in the back seat), and one camera that's aimed at the driver.Using facial recognition, the system adjusts temperature and seat position for each driver, and can be used as an antitheft device, in that the car won't start unless it recognizes the driver's mug (the system can hopefully be disabled for Halloween and other occasions). Delphi also plans to include video tuto...

How to Tell Real Diamonds from the Fake Ones?
2008-01-09 04:54:00
'The luminescent properties of blue diamonds'The Hope Diamond, currently housed by the Smithsonian Natural History MuseumWell, for an average person to tell the difference between a diamond and an inexpensive cubic zirconia crystal is pretty easy, as the cubic zirconia quickly loses its luster.However, while dealing with a real diamond and a synthetic one, the identification process could prove to be a challenge taking into consideration the fact that most of us never held a real diamond in our hand, and probably never will. Professional trained jewelers use specialized equipment to evaluate the 4 C's of a diamond crystal: clarity, cut, color and carat weight.Nevertheless, even the keen eye of an experienced jeweler could be fooled by artificial crystals, synthesized through modern crystal growth techniques. While shined with ultraviolet light, the world famous Hope Diamond seems to give off an eerie red glow, fact that could reveal a new method of testing for fake diamonds.As th...

'Make the most of it'Living like Brad Pitt will prolong your life by 14 years! Exercising, not drinking too much, eating your fruit and vegetables and not smoking can have this impact on you,as found by a research made by the University of Cambridge and the Medical Research Council of Norfolk (UK) between 1993 and 2006 and published in The Public Library of Science Medicine.The long study was made on 20,000 subjects aged 45 to 79. Those who did not match any of the criteria were four times more likely to have deceased during the research period.Subjects were socially mixed, overwhelmingly white and did not experience cancer or heart issues at the beginning of the research. Each of the next criteria represented a point: currently non-smoker, drinking just 1-14 units of alcohol (0.5-7 glasses of wine) weekly, consuming five servings of fruit and vegetables daily and being active (having a sedentary job but exercising at least 30 minutes daily or having a non-sedentary job).4 points ...

First iPhone Trojan in the wild

'The first warnings about the Trojan were posted on Saturday on the iPhone modification forum ModMyiFone.com, said security vendor F-Secure. When installed, the Trojan appeared to do nothing more than display the word "shoes", according to the ModMyiFone post.'However, when a user attempted to uninstall the malicious code, the application wiped files from the /bin directory, breaking "Erica's Utilities" such as sendfile. Erica's Utilities are a collection of command-line utilities for the iPhone, according to security vendor Symantec, which warned on Monday that the Trojan also overwrites OpenSSH, an open-source encryption protocol.The Trojan, known as "iPhone firmware 1.1.3 prep", or "113 prep", is the first to be seen in the wild, according to Symantec researcher Orla Cox."This is technically the first Trojan horse seen for the iPhone; however, it does appear to be more of a prank than an actual threat," Cox wrote in a blog post.

We are in the middle of a dreadful global warming that could melt all the Arctic glaciers by the middle of this century. Humankind is in a struggle to find all kind of technologies reducing the emissions of greenhouse effect gases. And one of the main emitters of these gases are cars. Sun-powered cars would emit no polluting gases at all, but so far this technology has not convinced.But now, BBC News is signaling that a French company has come with a pollution-free carfunctioning on compressed air. The car is produced by India's Tata Motors and, by the end of 2008, it could be bought from Euro pe and India.The air-compressed car, known under the name of Mini-CAT or City Cat, would be refueled in just a few minutes from a special air compressor that can be found at the gas stations.

Why Do Drops of Liquid Form Spheres in Space?

Astronaut Leroy Chiao, Expedition 10 commander and NASA ISS science officer,watches a sphere of water float between him and the camera, showing his image refracted,on the International Space Station. Credit: NASA.Whether water sits in a lake or a glass of water, Earth?s gravity pulls the liquid downward into the shape of the container it?s in.But in space, gravity?s effects are different. Objects in orbit are indeed affected by gravity, but they are in freefall, moving constantly sideways while falling toward Earth [ This renders them effectively weightless.Up there, surface tension shapes water into spheres. Magnetic-like molecules on water?s surface cause the surface to behave like an elastic skin. Each molecule is pulled with equal tension by its neighbors.The tight-knit group forms the smallest possible area?a sphere.Source: Live Science

How Do Satellites 'Fly'?
2008-01-03 19:25:00
'Satellites fall parallel to the surface of the planet.'Model of the first satellite put into space by mankind, Sputnik 1The word satellite originally meant 'co-traveler' or 'traveling companion', and was first attributed to natural bodies orbiting planets such as the Moon, for example, which is Earth's satellite. Currently, the word satellite is mostly used to describe man-made instruments orbiting the Earth, while moons circling planets are called natural satellites. The vast majority of the satellites are put into the orbit with the help of rockets and are designed to carry out military missions, weather forecasts, scientific studies or telecommunication transmission.Incredible as it may seem, the first artificial satellite put into Earth's orbit was not an American one, but a soviet satellite, and had the role of studying the upper layers of the atmosphere. At first, the U.S. scientists thought that the announcement made by the Russians was a joke; however, when they det...

New Fabric Resists Bomb Blasts
2008-01-03 14:55:00
Zetix is a remarkable fabric from Auxetix Ltd; it can resist multiple bomb blasts without tearing. It is a member of a class of fabrics called auxetics that actually become thicker when stretched out.The idea that a material could become thicker when stretched out is contrary to our usual experience with objects that stretch. For example, a plain bungee cord will indeed get thinner when stretched. However, if you entwine it with a stiffer cord, and then stretch out the two together, the stiffer white-colored cord becomes taut, while the bungee cord wraps around it.Now, imagine a fabric that uses this same principle at a much smaller level; when you stretch the fabric, it actually thickens up.When this principle is applied to protective fabrics, the results are dramatic. Most blast-resistant materials fail when exposed to the energy of a explosive blast. However, the Zetix material thickens to resist the blast, and then returns to its earlier state.This kind of material has a surpris...
