Here's your feel good video of the day. A uselessly cute and furry little Ewok going head to head against the menacing Incredible Hulk. The Hulk does what George Lucas should've done to Ewoks. [YouTube via @kwameopam] More »
If there's something that I hate more than one of those freaking winged sons-of-dinosaurs known as birds, that's a few thousand of them invading the entire sky, networked like a single individual. It's a natural phenomenon called murmuration. More »
So I had kind of a rough week. I lost some things I probably shouldn't have lost. I had the cops called on me as I sat frozen by a motion-sensing alarm. Some of these situations can be avoided. Others... can also be avoided. They can all be avoided, okay? Here's how to avoid, at the very least, going nuts over lost valuables. More »
Dippin' Dots isn't dead. But it's dying—the company filed for bankruptcy today in federal court. It's a sad day not just for you and for me and for minor league concession stands. It's a sad day for the future. More »
Doing what FPSRussia does is dangerous. And to demonstrate just how dangerous it is, he sought out a fan on Twitter to get tazed; and pepper sprayed; and, um, branded? Look, things got weird, ok? More »
Eye-C Taglist: Eye-C for Android and iPhone lets users from both platforms send music automagically to AirPlay. If you're on Android, that's ah-mazing. You can use Eye-C to create shareable "Taglists" out of music, photos, and videos on SoundCloud, YouTube, Picasa, Facebook, or their own music libraries to send to Airplay capable devices. Who says you're always locked out of Apple's walled garden?
Apps make the iPhone shine. And you want your new (or even old) iPhone to shine, right? Here are the best iPhone apps this week! It's a solid list.
I'd call these underwater Ukrainian artists gimmicky showboats if the paintings weren't so beautiful. Imagine what Van Gough would have cut off if he had to work underwater. More »
I don't hide my love of stock photography. From the terrifying to the sublime, Shutterstock is a trove of crazy. Enter words, get pictures. Grandparent bacon. Angry prostitute. Let's enter the cave of stock wonder madness together. More »
Researchers often work with a narrow range of compounds when making organic electronics, such as solar panels, light emitting diodes and transistors. Professor Tim Bender and Ph.D. Candidate Graham Morse of U of T's Department of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry have uncovered compounds that exhibit unique and novel electro-chemical properties.
Event is one of the highlights of CNSE's fourth annual celebration of 'NANOvember'.
Researchers from the NIST Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology have led the development of a new technique for efficiently out-coupling photons from epitaxially-grown quantum dots directly into a standard single-mode optical fiber.
In October this year, Beneq, together with the Shanghai Center for Photovoltaics (SCPV), hosted an invitation-only specialist seminar for executive level decision makers and experts in photovoltaics.
The 12th edition of the Trends in Nanotechnology International Conference (TNT2011) will take place between 21 and 25 of November in Canary Islands (Spain).
A breakthrough in components for next-generation batteries could come from special materials that transform their structure to perform better over time.
A solid explosive with an energy density equivalent to that of nitroglycerine: this is the composite material produced by researchers in France.
A nanocomposite hard probe inserted in the cerebral cortex of a rat model turns nearly as pliable as the surrounding gray matter in minutes, and induces less of the tough scarring that walls off hard probes that do not change, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have found.
The institute acquired an automatic TEL wafer prober in order to meet the requirements of latest measuring tasks related to capacity, quality and positioning accuracy within a large temperature range. Moreover future wafer test and characterization requirements will be developed and verified by means of an additional system.
