Experts at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) have recently reaffirmed their role as leading experts in the field of electronics. Last summer, they created an integrated circuit capable of working at 1.5 degrees Kelvin above absolute zero. Those temperatures are colder than most places in the Universe, and can only be achieved under very special conditions. Now, the team has announced the creation of an integrated circuit capable of operating at 125 degrees Kelvin, a temperature that can be achieved with commercially available liquid nitrogen.
“Our goal is to create efficient devices based on excitons that are operational at room temperature and can replace electronic devices where a high interconnection speed is important. We’re still in an early stage of development. Our team has only recently demonstrated the proof of principle for a transistor based on excitons and research is in progress,” UCSD Physics Professor Leonid Butov, who is the leader of the research… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, who was a close friend of Michael Jackson, has waited eight years to step forward and come to his defense by releasing a series of tapes with private talks the two had between 2000 and 2001. The tapes in question include confessions and discussions on anything from Michael’s fear of growing old, his fascination with death, his loneliness and his much-mediated relationship with Madonna, as E! Online can confirm.
Boteach’s book, “The Michael Jackson Tapes: A Tragic Icon Reveals His Soul in Intimate Conversation,” is being released based on the 30 hours of discussions, as the name also implies. The rabbi says it was Michael’s wish to have the world know exactly what he was thinking on several topics, although why he didn’t make the tapes public before his death is an issue that hasn’t been addressed yet. Still, they do shed some light on how lonely and, some say, ultimately disturbed Michael was.
“If it weren’t for children, I would choose death. I mean it… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
At the 2009 Tokyo Game Show, Capcom revealed Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, a new episode in the Resident Evil series, which will be a Wii remake for the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica. The presentation started with producer Masachika Kawata and the new game trailer. The action will take place in South America, a new and unused setting for RE, in the year 2002, and the main characters of the game will be Leon S. Kennedy, Jack Krauser and a little girl whose name is revealed in the last part of the trailer as being Manuela. Other notable characters present in the trailer are a Tyrant and a mysterious fiery creature that has for long waited to become one with the Veronica virus.
In addition to these, Javier Hidalgo will be another name that influences the story. He is a wanted South American drug lord that has complete dominion over his territory. Yet he suddenly disappears and soon after a former researcher for the Umbrella Corporation is spotted entering… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
Over recent years, the issue of subliminal messages has been fiercely debated by the international scientific community, as far as its effects on the human brain go. Several studies have analyzed how we pick up this type of messages, but flaws in their designs meant that their conclusions could not be trusted. Now, a new investigation proves that the mind can, indeed, perceive subliminal messages, but shows that the negative ones are a lot easier to imprint on the mind of the viewer than the positive ones.
In the research, 50 participants were asked to watch a computer screen, on which a multitude of words appeared for very short time frames (sometimes even a fiftieth of a second). Subliminal images, through their very nature, appear and disappear across the screen at a high speed, so that the conscious mind does not “see” them. Rather, these images are imprinted directly into a person’s subconscious, from where they can act on the brain directly, e! Science News reports.

Google has been very eager to play with its logo on its homepage, having featured three different doodles in the past couple of weeks. And now Google is at it again, this time spelling its name “Googlle.” Thankfully, this isn’t yet another mysterious doodle like the last three but rather something a lot more festive. The search giant is turning 11 years old this year and chose the September 27 date to celebrate.
Interestingly though, the actual date of its birthday is somewhat disputed and Google isn’t even sure itself. Last year, the company actually put up its 10th birthday logo on September 2, three full weeks earlier. As far as the official dates are concerned, Google filed for the incorporation papers on September 4. Another date the company could choose is when Google.com was actually registered, on September 15, 1997, a year earlier.
Recently though, Google has chosen two dates to celebrate, either September 7, when it officially chose to mark its incorporation, or… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
In a recent investigation of caves, caverns and underground water streams, conducted in the Australian Outback, researchers have discovered no less than 850 new animal species, ranging from fish and insects to crustaceans and beetles. Most of the newly discovered creatures were pale, a natural adaptation to their lightless environment, and also blind, as eyes would do them little good in complete darkness. In spite of the large number of diverse species that was recently found, experts believe that it represents only about a fifth of the large variety of creatures still to be discovered in Australia.
“What we’ve found is that you don’t have to go searching in the depths of the ocean to discover new species of invertebrate animals – you just have to look in your own backyard,” University of Adelaide in Australia evolutionary biologist and researcher Andy Austin explains, quoted by LiveScience. Worldwide, naturalists and biologists believe, only a small fraction of animal and plant… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
Last week, Intel, the world’s leading vendor of high-performance computer processors, hosted its annual IDF event (Intel Developer Forum) during which the chip maker had a couple of announcements to make, including the introduction of some new products. In addition, Intel also discussed some of its upcoming solutions, including the much-anticipated Pineview processors and Pine Trail netbook platform. According to the company, the updated Atom processors are expected to ship in the fourth quarter of 2009, consequently confirming previous rumors that surfaced on the Internet, prior to the aforementioned show.
Much has been said about Intel’s next-generation Atom processors over the last few months, especially since these upcoming chips will feature a different architecture, compared to the current platform. Pine Trail, Intel’s upcoming Atom platform, will adopt a 2-chip solution, compared to the current 3-chip platform design. This is a feature that has been enabled by the new chipset… (Read the rest of this article at the following article source link for the full story)
