According to Thrustmaster, this is the first ever racing wheel officially licensed by Ferrari for the Xbox 360. Who cares. You aren't going drive any faster because of the Cavallino Rampante on a glorified joystick. Unless you paint flames on it. More »
Sure, you could wait for the official Steve Jobs biography to come out in November. Or—or!—you could pick up a copy of the best-selling (in Taiwan) Steve Jobs Gives 11 Advices To Teenager. Easy choice? Easiest choice. More »
The inherent problem with voucher sites like Groupon is that you pay up front, so if a merchant screws you or won't accept a coupon, you're very probably stuck dealing with the voucher site. Enter Voucher Complaints. More »
After sifting through billions of data points and years of painstaking reconstruction, three researchers have made a fundamental discovery about Antarctic glaciers that promises to impact major theories in both glaciology and climate change sciences. More »
Robert Scoble did an on-air (or: on Youtube) interview and unlocked his phone while he was talking. Youssef Sarhan noticed his passcode was exposed, and wrote it up on Tumblr. Bobby, Bobby, it's time to change your password! More »
Photographer Stephen Wilkes captured New York, in day and night, in a single photograph. Well, it's actually multiple photographs taken over a 15-hour period but still, the resulting image captures all sides of this glorious city. More »
The observation and manipulation of single molecules by scanning tunneling microscopy is opening new frontiers in nanoscience.
Imagine yourself nano-sized, standing on the edge of a soon-to-be computer chip. Down shoots a beam of electrons, carving precise topography that is then etched the depth of the Grand Canyon into the chip. From the perspective of scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, this improved form of etching could open the door to new technologies.
Electronic screens based on new energy-efficient technology could become more affordable thanks to the substitution of expensive metal components with copper ones.
The Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) scheme of the European Commission has launched FET-House, a new website presenting some of the most advanced ICT projects in Europe and the people involved.
Ceremonies were held in St. Petersburg today for the first production line for new high-tech goods of nanostructured ceramic and cerametallic materials.
Der Oeko-Verband Naturland hat die Verwendung von Nanomaterialien fuer Lebensmittel und Kosmetika, auch in deren Verpackungen, verboten.

Dave Arthur, CEO of SouthWest NanoTechnologies, Inc. a world leader in high quality, Single-Wall and Specialty Multi-Wall carbon nanotubes, is a keynote speaker at the Nanomanufacturing Summit 2011 on Tuesday, September 27th.
This edition focuses on nanoscience, with an emphasis on LEEM (low-energy electron microscopy), PEEM (photoelectron emission microscopy), and related methods.
A team led by researchers at Stanford and Harvard universities has not only created a new material for high-speed organic semiconductors, it has come up with a new approach that can take months, even years, off the development timeline.
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced the development of 32 gigabyte double data rate-3 (DDR3) registered dual Inline memory modules (RDIMMs) that use three dimensional (3D) through silicon via (TSV) package technology.
Molecular separations are extremely important in a wide range of technologies, from conventional proteomics to pathogen detection and DNA fingerprinting. A complication arises from the fact that molecular components in mixtures can span an enormous range of concentration. Conventional approaches such as antibody depletion are not sensitive enough to detect numerous medically significant biomarkers, whose incidence in blood could be as much as a trillion times less abundant than the most plentiful protein, albumin. New research shows a new path in miniaturized molecular separations. It describes a new device that demonstrates simultaneous concentration and separation of proteins by conductivity gradient focusing. Concentration and separation take place in an electric-field-driven 120 nm deep nanochannel that supports a stable salt and conductivity gradient. The results show that relevant proteins can be concentrated to detectable levels.
For years, scientists have been trying to create special materials with a negative refractive index - their optical properties are quite different from those of normal materials. Researchers at the TU Vienna could now show that even common metals can have a negative refractive index, if they are placed in a magnetic field.
The XXV International Conference on Photochemistry (ICP2011) was held in Beijing on August 7-12, 2011. It was for the first time that the ICP was held in China.
