- Nanotechnology-based self-cleaning fabrics
- A recent American Chemical Society's Weekly PressPac briefly describes how Australian researchers have used nanotechnology to develop 'self-cleaning' wool and silk fabrics (scroll to article #4 in the PressPac). The researchers 'prepared wool fabrics with and without a nanoparticle coating composed of anatase titanium dioxide, a substance that is known...

- A Three-Stage Load-Balancing Switch
- This paper presents a three-stage load-balancing switch without the mis-sequencing problem. Analytical results indicate that this 3SLB switch is able to guarantee 100% throughput as an ideal OQ switch plus a bounded delay. Moreover, the switch architecture naturally minimizes the blocking problem without any scheduling computation. There is no speedup...

- Smart fabric mimicking knights armors
- Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC have created the world’s smallest chain-mail fabric. This fabric looks like the chain-mail armor worn by medieval knights, but can embed much more recent sensors to create some smart textiles. This fabric, which consists of "a network of small rings about...

- Blog swarm on Writely
- Google buys Writely and the blogosphere swarms. The aggregators/memetrackers, with some algorithmic help and hand kneading, provide ample evidence. It's a good example of how the blogosphere operates--thousands of bloggers converging on a hot topic and the aggregators/memetrackers sorting and filtering the output for human consumption. It's the hot conversation...
