New nanotube coating enables novel laser power meterMay 9th, 2009 WASHINGTON - Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a novel nanotube-coated power measurement device, which would be able to calibrate high-power laser systems, such as those intended to defuse unexploded mines, more quickly and easily. The new laser power meter, tested at a U.S.
Scientists construct carbon nanotube device that can detect colors of the rainbowMay 1st, 2009 WASHINGTON - Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories, US, have constructed a carbon nanotube device that can detect the colours of the rainbow, by identifying the entire visible spectrum of light, a feat that could soon allow scientists to probe single molecule transformations. Carbon nanotubes are long thin cylinders composed entirely of carbon atoms.
Lasers can be used to lengthen quantum bit memory by 1,000 timesJune 25th, 2009 WASHINGTON - Physicists have found that lasers can be used to drastically prolong the shelf life of quantum bit memory, the 0s and 1s of quantum computers, by 1,000 times. These precarious bits, formed in this case by arrays of semiconductor quantum dots containing a single extra electron, are easily perturbed by magnetic field fluctuations from the nuclei of the atoms creating the quantum dot.
IBM Breakthrough in Photonic Chip; Slows Light 300 TimesNovember 4th, 2005 IBM claims a major breakthrough in the quest developing photon based computers instead of todays electron based silicon chips. In its Silicon Wave Guide chip it claims to have managed to slow down light to 1/300 of its normal speed of 186, 000 miles per second.
It's a Cellphone, It's a Laptop, It's The New T-Mobile MDAMarch 22nd, 2006 The new T-Mobile MDA, a cellphone powered by Windows Mobile 5.0, has so many features that you may just leave your laptop at home. The 5.6-ounce MDA supports four international cellular frequencies and can connect to newer EDGE networks.
Synchronised light bursts may make jet lag historyJuly 15th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A software program that prescribes a regimen for avoiding jet lag using timed light exposure has been created by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the University of Michigan. The method has been described in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.
Finally Single LED (> 1000 Lumens) As Bright as Incandescent BulbSeptember 9th, 2007 Cree, Inc. (Nasdaq:CREE), a leading innovator in LED lighting components, today announced it has demonstrated light output of more than 1,000 lumens, an amount equivalent to the output level of a standard household light bulb, from a single LED. A single-die LED, driven at four amps, produced 1,050 lumens in cool white and 760 lumens in a warm-white version.
Maths program can make jet lag historyJune 19th, 2009 WASHINGTON - A software program that prescribes a regimen for avoiding jet lag using timed light exposure has been created by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital and the University of Michigan. The method has been described in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.
How to Shut down Windows Vista Faster!December 25th, 2008 Well I know, amongst hundreds of bugs that you face if you are an unfortunate user of Windows Vista, shut down time is a real annoying part. It takes unimaginably more time to shut a darn computer down.
Game Review & Tips: Alien Blaster for Windows, Linux, Mac...November 18th, 2007 AlienBlaster is a refreshing open source shoot-the-aliens game with various levels and an arcade mode. It is available on Windows, Linux, OS/2 & eComStation, Mac OSX (DarwinPorts), MorphOS and AmigaOS4.
Teleportation & Super-fast Quantum Computers may soon be a reality: Australian ScientistsJune 22nd, 2009 SYDNEY - Australian scientists have developed a new method for transmitting data with light that may lead to the development of teleportation technology and super-fast quantum computers. According to a report in www.news.com.au, the research team, from the Australian National University, developed a new approach to generating quantum entanglement in beams of light using only two parts.
How to Run Windows XP Sitting Inside Windows VistaJanuary 21st, 2009 Mr. A is in a strange situation. He used to love Windows XP, but switched to Windows Vista thinking that it will be better.
10 Weirdly Geeky Keyboards May 5th, 2009 Geeks do everything differently. Be it from their life style to gadgets, they have statements of their kinds.
Transmitting data 16 times faster @ 640 billion bits per secondFebruary 2nd, 2009 WASHINGTON - Every second, millions of phone calls and cable TV shows are dispatched through fibres as digital zeros and ones formed by chopping laser pulses into bits. This slicing and dicing is generally done with an electro-optic modulator, a device for allowing an electric signal to switch a laser beam on and off at high speeds.
Microsoft PowerPoint Suffers From Memory Corruption Security VulnerabilityJuly 18th, 2006 Naveed has discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft PowerPoint, which potentially can be exploited to compromise any user's system. The vulnerability has been confirmed on Windows XP SP2 with a fully patched PowerPoint 2003.
