| New technology could inspire brain implant for detecting and treating seizures Posted: 01 Jun 2011 05:40 PM PDT Tiny electrodes have been coated with a drug-loaded polymer in an attempt to design an implant capable of detecting a number of neurological symptoms, such as those associated with an epileptic seizure, and treating them simultaneously.  |
| Thomas Edison also invented the concrete house, researcher says Posted: 01 Jun 2011 12:21 PM PDT Afficionados of modern poured-concrete design were in for a rude awakening last month when they heard Matt Burgermaster's presentation at the 64th annual meeting of the Society of Architectural Historians. He illustrated how Thomas Edison invented and patented in 1917 an innovative construction system to mass produce prefabricated and seamless concrete houses. Typically most people associate this style of architectural design and type of building technology with the European avant-garde of the early 20th century.  |
| Quantum knowledge cools computers: New understanding of entropy Posted: 01 Jun 2011 10:43 AM PDT From a laptop warming a knee to a supercomputer heating a room, the fact that computers generate heat is familiar to everyone. But theoretical physicists have discovered something astonishing: not only do computational processes sometimes generate no heat, under certain conditions they can even have a cooling effect. Behind this finding are fundamental considerations relating to knowledge and a lack of knowledge.  |
| Making complex fluids look simple Posted: 01 Jun 2011 07:15 AM PDT Scientists have successfully developed a widely applicable method for discovering the physical foundations of complex fluids for the first time. Researchers have developed a microscopic theory that describes the interactions between the various components of a complex polymer mixture.  |
| Lasers used to form 3-D crystals made of nanoparticles Posted: 01 Jun 2011 06:14 AM PDT Physicists have used the electric fields generated by intersecting laser beams to trap and manipulate thousands of microscopic plastic spheres, thereby creating 3-D arrays of optically induced crystals.  |
