Nano Technology Increases Thermoelectric Efficiency

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on March 26th, 2008

Thermoelectric involving a direct relationship between temperature of materials and the production of electricity. Thermoelectric materials have been used by NASA to generate power for far-away spacecraft.
Recently, researchers at Boston College and MIT have used nanotechnology to achieve a major increase in thermoelectric efficiency.
This research become a milestone that paves the way for a new […]

The Shocking News “Liquid Water Found Flowing On Mars?”

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on March 5th, 2008

Image below shows a bright streak in a gully on the side of a crater in the Centauri Montes region of Mars. This image was generated using numerical computer model by researcher from University of Arizona in Tucson. The middle image shows how a deposit left by a pure liquid water flood would appear in […]

Red Rain Could Prove That Aliens Have Landed?

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on February 20th, 2008

It was revealed in Guardian Unlimited, in 2006 about a finding of biological material in red rain that was happened in Kerala, India. Until now, this findings still become a mystery, there is still no specific proof that the red rain was a real alien’s DNA.
On 25 July, 2001, blood-red rain fell over the […]

Carbon Nanotubes Will Connect Moon to Earth

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on October 25th, 2007

Carbon nanotube research is a very active area with many hundreds of papers appearing in technical journals each year. In 1991 the first carbon nanotubes were made[Iijima, 1991]. These structures have promise of being the strongest material yet discovered. This strength combined with the low density of the material makes it critically important when considering […]

Microsoft Mind Reading Software

Microsoft is working on brain reading software—that can interface directly with the human brain—and it might one day be implementing for the purpose of diagnostics, or for control of home electronics via specialized peripheral computer accessories.
The patent application describes a method of classifying EEG data in a way that separates the wheat from […]

The Mysteri of Alien’s DNA-shaped Dust

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on August 15th, 2007

American Scientist reported, according to a new simulation, electrically charged dust can organise itself into DNA-like double helixes that behave in many ways like living organisms, reproducing and passing on information to one another.
Gregor Morfill of the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, Germany, have built a computer simulation to model what happens […]

Quantum Communications Reached 144 km

3 repliesKoen on June 4th, 2007

Nature Physics reported: a quantum communication has been sent across a record 144 km.
The quantum teleportation involves entangling two particles so that any change to the state of one also occurs instantly in its twin, wherever it may be. The researchers entangle a pair of photons and then fire a single photon at one of […]

Silicon-Based Spintronics

Start discussionKoen on May 16th, 2007

New Scientist Reported: A development that could advance of the hottest areas of physics research has been announced by US scientists: spintronics. Spintronics is the operation of logic devices based on manipulating and measuring the spin of electrons, rather than turning current on and off. It is expected to enable smaller, faster and less power […]
