| Researchers invent 'meta mirror' to help advance nonlinear optical systems Posted: 02 Jul 2014 02:00 PM PDT Scientists have created a nonlinear mirror that could advance laser systems. The metamaterials were created with nonlinear optical response a million times as strong as traditional nonlinear materials.  |
| Toward a new way to keep electronics from overheating Posted: 02 Jul 2014 08:10 AM PDT Computer technology has transformed the way we live, but as consumers expect ever more from their devices at faster speeds, personal computers as well as larger electronic systems can overheat. This can cause them to slow down, or worse, completely shut down. Now researchers are reporting that liquids containing nanoparticles could help devices stay cool and keep them running.  |
| Censorship? Researchers develop 'Encore' to monitor Web access Posted: 02 Jul 2014 08:10 AM PDT Researchers have created a tool to monitor the accessibility of Web pages around the world that can be installed by adding a single line of code to a web page. The tool, Encore, runs when a user visits a website where the code is installed and then discreetly collects data from potentially censored sites. The researchers hope the data they collect will allow them to determine the wheres, whens and hows of what's blocked, as well as identify ways to get around restricted access.  |
| 3-D printer to aid the visually impaired students in their educational endeavors Posted: 02 Jul 2014 07:26 AM PDT New technology has been developed to make tactile objects with ease thanks to the convergence technology of 3-D printing and 3-D thermal reflow treatment, which can be denoted as the revolution in manufacturing technology. Using the technology, not only braille books, but also braille picture books and teaching materials can be made with greater flexibility in color, height and size. It is also harmless to human body since it does not require UV coating or harmful chemical treatment.  |
| Research could lead to dramatic energy savings at data farms Posted: 02 Jul 2014 06:36 AM PDT Computer scientists have developed a wireless network on a computer chip that could reduce energy consumption at huge data farms by as much as 20 percent.  |
| Superconducting-silicon qubits: Using a bottom-up approach to make hybrid quantum devices Posted: 02 Jul 2014 06:36 AM PDT Theorists propose a way to make superconducting quantum devices such as Josephson junctions and qubits, atom-by-atom, inside a silicon crystal. Such systems could combine the most promising aspects of silicon spin qubits with the flexibility of superconducting circuits.  |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2014 06:36 AM PDT Fully automated 'deep learning' by computers greatly improves the odds of discovering particles such as the Higgs boson, beating even veteran physicists' abilities, according to new findings.  |
| License plate readers are important police tool, but hurdles remain, study finds Posted: 02 Jul 2014 06:36 AM PDT A new study outlines some of the issues law enforcement officials must address if use of license plate readers can reach their full potential. Researchers say probably the biggest issues that must be addressed are how to address privacy issues.  |
| Accurate information on people's behavior helps to improve retail design Posted: 02 Jul 2014 06:23 AM PDT Scientists have been developing an advanced tracking system based on depth cameras that provides accurate information on how people move about and behave in various spaces. The system can be applied, for example, to improving customer service in retail shops, optimization of the use of office facilities, or as an assisting tool for independent living of the elderly.  |
