DailyTech – Microsoft Apologizes for Photoshopping Black Man out of Advertisment.

Liquid-OLED Offers More Light-Emitting Possibilities. Recently, researchers have fabricated a “liquid-OLED” – an OLED that uses a liquid organic semiconducting layer to transport charge. // var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = “pub-0536483524803400″; google_ad_output = “js”; google_feedback = “on”; google_max_num_ads = 2; google_ad_type = ‘text’; // ch news google_ad_channel =”0559369967+7377547201+0981327436″; google_hints = “liquid semiconducting layer organic”; [...]

Japanese Women Demand Rich Husbands | Sankaku Complex. Another survey looked at the ideal annual income Japanese women sought in a man; the most popular answers were “over $90,000” with 22.8%, and “over $70,000” again with 22.8%. 19.3% were seeking over an income of $130,000 or more.

BBC NEWS | Programmes | Click | Snail mail gets net speed boost. For 14 euros (£12) a month, letters are redirected to a secret location in Zurich where the envelopes are scanned and an image is e-mailed out to customers. They can then decide whether letters should be opened and scanned by vetted personnel [...]

BBC NEWS | Americas | Legal case against God dismissed. A US judge has thrown out a case against God, ruling that because the defendant has no address, legal papers cannot be served. He sought a permanent injunction to prevent the “death, destruction and terrorisation” caused by God. “Given that this court finds that there [...]

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | Single molecule’s stunning image. The detailed chemical structure of a single molecule has been imaged for the first time, say researchers. The physical shape of single carbon nanotubes has been outlined before, using similar techniques – but the new method even shows up chemical bonds. Understanding structure on [...]

Technology Review: The Smallest Laser Ever Made. Researchers have demonstrated the smallest laser ever, consisting of a nanoparticle just 44 nanometers across. The device is dubbed a “spaser” because it generates a form of radiation called surface plasmons. The technique allows light to be confined in very small spaces, and some physicists believe that spasers [...]

BBC NEWS | Science & Environment | A step closer to ‘synthetic life’. In what has been described as a step towards the creation of a synthetic cell, scientists have created a new “engineered” strain of bacteria. A team successfully transferred the genome of one type of bacteria into a yeast cell, modified it, and [...]

DailyTech – Flexible LED Breakthrough Allows Bus-size Displays. Reuters reports that researchers announced this week that they have devised a new way to make large-scale flexible displays that can be fitted to the contours of a bus, but are transparent. This would allow for video advertising on the displays, but passengers in the bus could [...]

DailyTech – Bionanoelectronic Devices Could Speed Up Electronics, Processing. Mixing living cells with microscopic electronics may yield a new breed of processing power. Though computer engineers and scientists have been repeatedly breaking speed barriers with new supercomputers, they still pale in comparison to the information processing power of complex biological systems. IBM’s Roadrunner supercomputer, presently [...]

DailyTech – Researcher Discovers New Cloaking Method. New method could hide buildings from earthquakes or tsunamis A researcher for the University of Utah named Graeme Milton has developed a new cloaking method that may someday allow buildings and other large objects to be shielded from things like sonar, radar, earthquakes, and even tsunamis.

DailyTech – IBM Using DNA to Create Semiconductors Below 22nm. Microprocessors using DNA construction are ten years away The breakthrough uses DNA, the building blocks of the human body, as the starting point for microprocessors built at under 22nm size. The semiconductor industry is facing significant hurdles in developing lithographic construction processes for under 22nm [...]

DailyTech – Organic Electronics Vastly Improved with New Breakthrough. New breakthrough in organic electronics transports electrons and holes with one layer The creation of organic circuits that could conduct holes and electrons before the team’s breakthrough required a complex design with two patterns on top of each other. One pattern transported holes and the other [...]
