FieldLines 1.2.1 (Mac)

FieldLines is a screen saver that simulates the electric field lines emitted by charged particles. In this screen saver, ions move around the screen and bind to the lines of other ions as they get close and unbind as they move away. As the original author has said, physics never...

Lenovo IdeaPad S12 pushes netbooks in new directions; Intel, Microsoft push back

The battle over the role of netbooks appears to be escalating. Computer makers, aided by Nvidia, are broadening the features and performance of netbooks--adding larger displays and more-capable graphics. The latest example is Lenovo, which just announced a 12-inch netbook--the first from a major computer maker with Nvidia's Ion platform....

First reviews of Nvidia's netbook solution

Netbooks powered by Nvidia's Ion platform are nowhere in sight, but that hasn't stopped reviewers from taking it for a spin. These first reviews aren't based on real-world systems-we won't see those until mid-2009 at the earliest. Instead Nvidia has been providing reviewers with a home-baked small-form- factor desktop to...

A sixth region in the magnetosphere?

As you probably know, Earth's magnetosphere, 'the invisible bubble of magnetic fields and electrically charged particles that surrounds and protects the planet from the periodically lethal radiation of the solar wind,' was discovered in 1958. Until now, it was composed of five regions, including the ionosphere or the Van Allen...

Mimicking electric eel cells to produce energy

A team of U.S. engineers has found that it's possible to build artificial cells replicating the electrical behavior of electric eel cells. In fact, these artificial cells deliver better performance than the real ones, called electrocytes, which can generate electric potentials of up to 600 volts. The researchers have developed...

Toward more efficient fuel cells?

A very short report from the American Association for the Advancement of Science AAAS, 'A cool fuel cell,' says that Spanish researchers have developed a new way to operate solid oxide fuel cells, which could potentially provide electricity on an industrial scale, at near room temperature. This new super-lattice material...

What is nanopantography?

If you don't know the answer, I cannot blame you. After all, a query for 'nanopantography' on Google returns only 43 results as I'm typing this. But researchers from the University of Houston say that nanopantography can create billions of nanotech devices in hours. The idea behind the technology is...

First on-chip cooling system?

Researchers at the University of Washington UW have developed a cooling device small enough to fit on a computer chip. This tiny ion pump uses an electrical charge 'rather than liquid or fans to create a cooling air jet right at the surface of the chip.' This research project looks...

Six atoms in quantum 'cat' state

In this news release, researchers from the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST report that they have demonstrated for the first time that six charged atoms of beryllium, or ions, could collectively spin clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time. This so-called Schrödinger 'cat' state could lead to...
