One replyYessi Pratiwi on June 12th, 2008

It was revealed in Science Daily that, an IBM’s labs, the researchers are about creating a design that promises to extend Moore’s Law into the next decade and significantly reduce the energy consumed by data centers.
How could it be ?

The scientist unveiled a powerful and efficient technique to cool 3-D chip stacks with […]

UFO : Does The 70 Years Research Pay Off?

One replyYessi Pratiwi on June 8th, 2008

Electro-gravitics research seeking the nature of gravity and its control has reached a stage where profound implications for the entire human race have emerged. Perhaps the most startling and immediate involve aircraft, guided missiles, atmospheric and deep space flights.
If only one line of research achieves the goal and it now seems plausible that this […]

Lorenz Studer of the Sloan-Kettering Institute in New York, US, led the research of therapeutic cloning in mice, found that all six mice that had been given grafts of neurons derived from their own skin cells got significantly better, scoring well on tests of movement.
The mice used in the research were back to health after […]

Do you think that ghost imaging is impossible? Well, US researchers have shown that the “ghost imaging” technique could help satellites take snapshots through clouds or smoke.

Some researchers from University of Maryland, US Army Research Laboratory, have now taken the first ghost images of an opaque object - a toy soldier (see image, […]

Engineers Make First ‘Active Matrix’ Display Using Nanowires, Research Reported

One replyYessi Pratiwi on April 13th, 2008

As a step toward realizing applications such as e-paper, flexible color monitors and “heads-up” displays in car windshields, engineers have created the first “active matrix” display using a new class of transparent transistors and circuits.
It was mentioned in ScienceDaily that, the transistors are made of “nanowires,” a tiny cylindrical structures as small as 20 nanometers, […]

Another Superconductors Discovered

By Encarta, we found that superconductivity is a phenomenon displayed by certain conductors that demonstrate no resistance to the flow of an electric current. Superconductors also exhibit strong diamagnetism; that is, they are repelled by magnetic fields. It conduct electricity without creating friction or heat loss, but most commercial superconducting materials have to operate at […]

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 […]

New Inexpensive and Quickdrying Polymer In Semiconductor Manufacturing and Computer Chip Packaging

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on February 8th, 2008

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Polyset Company have developed a new inexpensive, quick-drying polymer that could lead to dramatic cost savings and efficiency gains in semiconductor manufacturing and computer chip packaging.

Worked with new materials called polyset epoxy siloxane (PES), the researchers were managed to create a new generation of lower-cost, on-chip nanoimprinting […]

3D Metamaterials For The Optical Wavelength Range

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on January 19th, 2008

Last month, the researchers from Harald Giessen at the University of Stuttgart succeded in manufacturing a stacked split-ring metamaterial for the optical wavelength range. This layer-by-layer stacking procedure is capable of producing well aligned three-dimensional metamaterial structures.
Before, researchers from Duke University stunned the world when they announced a cloaking device for the microwave range. […]

World’s Largest Silicon Tracking Detector Successfully Installed

Start discussionYessi Pratiwi on January 4th, 2008

On December 25, at CERN1, installation of the world’s largest silicon tracking detector was successfully completed.
ScienceDaily reported, with a total surface area of 205 square meters, about the same as a singles tennis court, the CMS Silicon Strip Tracking Detector is by far the largest semiconductor silicon detector ever constructed. Its silicon sensors are […]
