  My Note: Dreaming is good for health. :)
  Here's one way to sidestep climate change, where every low-lying area on the planet will be underwater: Just build underwater skyscrapers! Imagine the magnificent views of undersea flora and fauna from this floating city that's completely self-sustaining. hO2+ scraper is a design concept entered...

  My Note: Yes, this will be huge!
  I’m here at eBay Headquarters in San Jose, CA for the launch of Bloom Energy’s Bloom Box, a fuel cell device that promises to power your whole house with a handheld-sized box. It made worldwide headlines after the Bloom Box’s appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes.The room is packed with dozens o...

  My Note: "Like capturing a star to run the machines of the earth, forever..."
  Ignition is close now. Within a year or two the 192 laser beams at the National Ignition Facility (NIF)--the world’s largest and most powerful laser system, a 13-year, $4-billion enterprise--will focus their energy onto a pellet no bigger than a peppercorn. Energy from the laser beams will crush...

  My Note: Here is nice story about our sun, coming back from a (too) long holiday.
  As the sun emerges from a long lull in activity, the star's emissions in the radio band of the spectrum have also picked up. And from a shed on three acres

• Everywhere in a Flash: The Quantum Physics of Photosynthesis | Wired Science | Wired.com
  Published: February 5, 2010
  Source: www.wired.com
  My Note: Great piece of news: photosynthesis at room temperature shows quantum coherence and, as a consequence, no energy loss when going from solar radiation to "cell-driving charges". Now how can we mimic this in real life?
  By hitting single molecules with quadrillionth-of-a-second laser pulses, scientists have revealed the quantum physics underlying photosynthesis, the

  Scriam cu ani în urmă în revista Ştiinţă şi tehnică un dosar despre (pe atunci ipoteticele) “Organe de schimb”. Unul dintre subcapitole se referea la pielea artificială şi la cercetările despre regenerarea organelor. Eram excesiv de optimist, recunosc, dar realizările recente mi-au întrecut pînă şi mie aşteptările.

  SkySails este un concept fermecător ce readuce în atenţie multimilenara tehnologie a velelor. Unui ochi neavizat ar putea să i se pară o simplă joacă de-a zmeele, dar parapanta pe care o vedeţi este capabilă să reducă cu pînă la 30% consumul de combustibil al unui cargobot transatlantic. Şi nu doar pe hîrtie. (More …)

  Vă mai amintiţi de Sigourney Weaver în Alien 2 şi de confruntarea cu mama tuturor alienilor? Nu a reuşit să învingă scîrboasa creatură decît graţie unui exoschelet greoi, pe care cei de pe navă îl foloseau la diverse operaţiuni solicitante de la bord.

  Iată încă un exemplu despre realitatea care a depăşit fantezia. Americanii au pus la punct o versiune militară a unui astfel de exoschelet. E mult mai suplu şi mai agil. După cum o să vedeţi în filmuleţul următor, tipul care îl probează poate să meargă pe călcîie, să danseze şi cîte şi mai cîte. (More …)
