| Posted: 05 May 2011 03:15 PM PDT A researcher is on a quest to grow flowers that will help people who've lost their sight by designing nano-sized flowers whose fractal shapes on implants will engage with neurons to carry light to the optic nerve.  |
| EEG headset with flying harness lets users 'fly' by controlling their thoughts Posted: 05 May 2011 01:45 PM PDT Students have created a system that pairs an EEG headset with a 3-D theatrical flying harness, allowing users to "fly" by controlling their thoughts. The "Infinity Simulator" will make its debut with an art installation in which participants rise into the air -- and trigger light, sound, and special effects -- by calming their thoughts.  |
| Posted: 05 May 2011 11:26 AM PDT Basic scientific curiosity paid off in unexpected ways when researchers investigating the fundamental physics of nanomaterials discovered a new technology that could dramatically improve solar energy panels.  |
| Better glasses-free 3-D: Mew approach to make 3-D illusions more realistic Posted: 05 May 2011 10:16 AM PDT Researchers have developed a fundamentally new approach to glasses-free 3-D, called HR3D, which they say could double the battery life of devices without compromising screen brightness or resolution. Among other advantages, the technique could also expand the viewing angle of a 3-D screen, making it practical for larger devices with multiple users, and it would maintain the 3-D effect even when the screen is rotated -- something that happens routinely with handheld devices.  |
| New online mechanism for electric vehicle charging Posted: 05 May 2011 09:40 AM PDT Researchers have designed a new pricing mechanism that could change the way in which electric vehicles are charged. It is based on an online auction protocol that makes it possible to charge electric vehicles without overloading the local electricity network.  |
| Scientists afflict computers with 'schizophrenia' to better understand the human brain Posted: 05 May 2011 09:40 AM PDT Computer networks that can't forget fast enough can show symptoms of a kind of virtual schizophrenia, giving researchers further clues to the inner workings of schizophrenic brains, researchers have found.  |
| Quantum simulation with light: Frustrations between photon pairs Posted: 05 May 2011 08:19 AM PDT Researchers have used a quantum mechanical system in the laboratory to simulate complex many-body systems. This experiment promises future quantum simulators enormous potential insights into unknown quantum phenomena.  |
| High temperature milestone achieved in silicon spintronics Posted: 05 May 2011 07:32 AM PDT Researchers have demonstrated that spin accumulation in silicon -- semiconductor spintronics -- is viable as a basis for practical devices relying on electron spin rather than electron charge, providing higher performance, lower power consumption and less heat dissipation.  |
| Antibody-based biosensor can guide environmental clean-ups, provide early warning system for spills Posted: 05 May 2011 07:25 AM PDT Researchers have developed an antibody-based biosensor that can detect marine pollutants like oil much faster and more cheaply than current technologies.  |
| Transistors reinvented using new 3-D structure Posted: 05 May 2011 06:22 AM PDT Intel Corporation has announced a significant breakthrough in the evolution of the transistor, the microscopic building block of modern electronics. For the first time since the invention of silicon transistors over 50 years ago, transistors using a three-dimensional structure will be put into high-volume manufacturing. Intel will introduce a revolutionary 3-D transistor design called Tri-Gate, first disclosed by Intel in 2002, into high-volume manufacturing at the 22-nanometer (nm) node in an Intel chip codenamed "Ivy Bridge." A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter.  |
| Spitzer detects shadow of 'super-Earth' in front of nearby star Posted: 04 May 2011 08:10 AM PDT NASA's Spitzer satellite has detected the crossing of a solid planet in front of a star located at only 42 light-years in the constellation Cancer. Thanks to this detection, astronomers know that this "super-Earth" measures 2.1 times the size of our Earth. This is the smallest exoplanet detected in the neighborhood of our Sun.  |
