New supercomputer modeled on humble human brain
So you think the brain's defeated? Just because humans can't think as quickly as a computer and access terabytes if information in nanoseconds? Think again! A new computational model seeks to harness the illogical cognative benefits of...
Selecting a glove box for a specific application
Technical journalists like to jump on hot, new, sexy topics like nanotechnology, MEMS, and molecular computing. But there are other essential technologies that are...
Nanomaterials bringing better solutions into homes
Nanomaterials are leading the way to creating solutions to household problems. The new nanomaterial in the article below creates an ultrathin coating which barricades fires from engulfing households in flames! This is a great alternative to
Mysterious gamma-ray bursts yield unprecedented data
I loved this article because it emphasized that there is a moment when all sciences come down to luck, as quoted by the author, "Astrophysicists can't be successful just because they are clever and hard-working. They also have to be lucky."
Nanomaterial toxicity generates health risk policy
It's great to see that we are getting repeatable data across the nanomaterials field. This means that, hopefully, we will soon know difinitively the risks we face when working with nanoparticulates...
Prevent further biological evidence tampering
Methods for gathering and keeping forensic evidence are subject to the toughest scrutiny. Are your department's procedures for storing, preserving and tracking biological evidence up to date with the newest guidelines?
