Computer Researchers Look Past Silicon
The crystal ball is cloudy when it comes to the nature of future chips. Scientists are racing against the clock to develop a means of defeating an enemy that threatens to stop computer technology progress dead in its tracks. The threat is not terrorism; it is Moore's Law,...

Mystery gamma-ray source pinned to vampire stars
PARIS AFP — An intriguing source of gamma rays linked to the high-energy collision of fundamental particles in the centre of our galaxy has been traced to vampire-like binary stars, a study says. The big smash comes from negatively-charged electrons colliding with their corresponding positively-charged "antiparticle," known as positrons....

"Trapped rainbow" could herald new dawn for computing
PARIS AFP — Scientists in Britain said Wednesday they were able to slow and then stop a squirt of light in what they described as a key step towards the future of ultra-fast computing. The technique, called "trapped rainbow," would help optical data storage, with light replacing electrons to...

In science fiction,
if matter meets antimatter, the result is mutual annihilation, and usually the end of the universe. Scientists at the University of California, writing in the journal Nature, recently managed to get an electron and a positron (an anti-electron) to stick together in a weird hybrid atom. It only lasted 60...

Tunneling Asymmetry Reveals Atom Alignment in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors
Researchers at Cornell University have used a highly precise scanning tunneling microscope STM to learn why superconductivity-the conduction of'electricity with zero resistance-stalls in certain copper oxides known as cuprates. Pure cuprates, though normally insulators, become superconductors at temperatures as high as -1250C when doped with small numbers of other atoms....

Room-sized particle accelerator surfs the wave
PARIS AFP — French physicists say they have developed a table-top-sized particle accelerator, a gadget that normally would need the equivalent of several large rooms. Jerome Faure and Victor Malka at the ENSTA/CNRS laboratory near Paris injected electrons into a plasma wave created by a single intense laser pulse. Their...

Celestial MUSYC: cosmic ABCs keep astronomers spellbound
Acronyms are everywhere, alphabetically infecting daily life, IMHO in my humble opinion. So perhaps we astronomers can be forgiven for sliding down the slippery slope of cryptic capital letters: MHD magnetohydrodynamics, SETI search for extraterrestrial intelligence, LGM little green men. Overall, though, we're pretty good at keeping things unacronymed,...

Physicists shed light on superfluidity.(SUPERCONDUCTORS)
For the first time, scientists have directly observed the transition of a gas to a superfluid, a form of matter closely related in its behaviour to superconductors. Observations of superfluids may help answer questions about high-temperature superconductivity. Superconductivity is a form of superfluidity,...

NASA Imaging Technology Used to Fight Diabetes
NASA image processing technology used to explore orbital images of Earth is being modified for use in diabetes research. A team from George Washington University (Washington, DC) and Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) modified the technology, which has increased the speed of the research. The team analyzed electron photomicrographs - images...

Scanning electron microscope reveals atomic-scale structures.(TESTING AND MEASUREMENT)
Researchers at Cornell University, USA, have developed a technique that allows them, for the first time, to see the polarity, or physical alignment, of constituent atoms in crystalline molecules. Using the technique, called annular dark imaging, the researchers say they can better predict the...

Alpha-Voltaic Sources Using Liquid Ga as Conversion Medium
These units would offer long life and high energy-conversion efficiency. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California A family of proposed miniature sources of power would exploit the direct conversion of the kinetic energy of a particles into electricity. In addition to having long operational lives, these sources are...

Calibration of Electromigration Reliability of Flip-Chip Packages by Electrothermal Coupling Analysis
Electromigration reliability of solder interconnects is dominated by current density and temperature inside the interconnects. For flip-chip packages, current densities around the regions where the traces connect a solder bump increase significantly due to the differences in feature sizes and electric resistivities between the solder bump and its adjacent traces....

Chameleon clothing lets you vanish into the background
PARIS AFP — A chemist in the United States is reportedly working on "chameleon clothing" that at the touch of a switch would mimic the wearer's surroundings. Greg Sotzing, associate professor of the University of Connecticut at Storrs has invented threads of so-called electrochromic polymers that change colour in...

Magnetic overthrow: physicists expose a hidden facet of a familiar phenomenon
While conducting experiments for his physics Ph.D. in the early 1990s, Dan Ralph suddenly found himself in unfamiliar terrain without a compass. Examining nanoscale sandwiches of magnetic and nonmagnetic materials in a Cornell University lab, Ralph discovered that voltages caused by electric currents passing perpendicularly through these layers would sometimes...

Science
Scientists collect samples of air, water, soil, plants, and tissue to detect and monitor pollution. Pollutants are most often extracted from samples, then isolated by a technique called chromatography and analyzed by appropriate detection methods. Many pollutants are identified by their spectral fingerprints, unique patterns of absorbed or emitted radiation...
