Jun 7, 2010 — Tuesday night, April 6, 2010: The Ile de Batz slowed to a stop in the waters of Dar es Salaam Bay, just off the Msasani Peninsula in the east African nation of Tanzania. The ship had been traveling south from Kenya, laying cable for the Eastern Africa Submarine Cable System (EASSy), a 10,000-km undersea network that will connect with nine African countries along the east coast of the continent and serve an additional 12 landlocked nations through backhaul networks. The cable reached sho...
X-ray, meet optical control …
BERKELEY, Calif. – Researchers have shown that they can control matter directly with intense x-ray beams and can use one beam to control another. The experiments could open the door to new and interesting ways to use x-rays, said Thornton E. “Ernie” Glover...
The Vision Show: The Business of 3-D
May 26, 2010 — May 25th is recognized pretty much everywhere as Towel Day. At least I think it is. I read about this day of observance on the internet – Wikipedia, for instance, seems utterly convinced of its actuality – but you never can be certain,...
Lasers of the Lost Ark
May 24, 2010 — We talk about the myriad ways in which lasers will shape the future. Free-space optical communications for high-speed data transmission. Ultra-precise tumor excision, with minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. Formidable death rays to ward off...
Argonne offers integrated approach
May 10, 2010 — Researchers anticipate that the world’s energy needs will double by 2050. To help meet these ballooning needs, the US Department of Energy (DoE)’s Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois recently launched an Alternative Energy &...
Novel systems detect explosives
May 10, 2010 — The need for technologies that can detect explosives with high sensitivity and from far away is as great as ever. A number of groups are working to develop such technologies. At the University of Málaga, researchers have demonstrated a novel...
Publish/Perish
May 10, 2010 — Galileo learned too late, perhaps, that publishing scientific findings can be a dangerous business. The whole endeavor is fraught with political landmines and epistemological pitfalls, and when he threw his weight behind the Copernican view of a...
Don't Fear the Sweeper: Audience Scanning in the US
Apr 28, 2010 — You’re standing in a field with a thousand or more of your close friends, the ground beneath your feet quaking in time with the bass emanating from a thunderous sound system. A cone of light appears, a solid green sweep generated by a nearby...
The Age of the Expo?
Apr 26, 2010 — Boston Convention & Exposition Center Thursday Afternoon Any number of thoughts might flit through my head as I wander the floor of a trade show. ‘Could I pull off a bowtie?’ ‘Why do my feet look smaller in these...
Dynamite with a Laser Beam
Apr 15, 2010 — I am a lifelong fan of the progressive rock band Yes, which surely puts me in league with the least cool music fans ever. Hipsters scoff at the unironic appropriations of classical musical forms, the cognoscenti dismiss the often impenetrable lyrics...

The Year in Stimulus Funding: The impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on biomedical research
Mar 23, 2010 — Dr. Francis S. Collins had, as they say, his work cut out for him. In early August 2009, the former head of the Human Genome Project was sworn in as the 16th director of the NIH and thus was charged with overseeing what President Obama would later...
Tom Cruise Wants to Read Your Mind
Mar 16, 2010 — Hollywood has a long, tangled history with science, with filmmakers calling on it to create strange, frequently dystopic worlds and using it to support surreal or otherwise inexpli...
Cadillacs, Congress and the Helium Reserve
Mar 2, 2010 — Here’s an interesting bit of trivia: the Cadillac Ranch, the peculiar paean to the open road that lies just west of Amarillo, Tex., was created under the patronage of Stanley Marsh 3, a local, rather eccentric helium tycoon. The National Helium...
Lighting the Way
Feb 28, 2010 — The lighting industry is in transition. The formerly ubiquitous incandescent bulb has already been banned in Europe and will be phased out in the US beginning in 2012, all part of ...
SPIE Medical Imaging: Advancing Public Health
Feb 18, 2010 — Here in Southern California we have difficulty grasping the true nature of weather extremes. We hear reports of storms burying Boston, Philly and DC under several feet of snow. We ...

Powered by Puppets, Driven by the Sun
Jan 27, 2010 — I held tight to the makeshift passenger seat as the aged truck bounced across the Bay Bridge. A station wagon appeared on the right, and as it glided past I glimpsed a child in the back, its face pressed against the window, eyeing me with what...
Vaya Con BiOS
