Superhydrophobic spray means no more clothes to wash. Ross Technology Corp is a company that specializes in steel products including non-slip flooring, security, and racks.
For the tech enthusiast, that may sound a little boring, but then you hear about a byproduct of a solution they came up with to stop their steel products corroding. Metal corrodes when it comes into contact with liquid such as water, so Ross engineers set about coming up with a coating to keep liquid away from the steel. What they ended up with is a silicon-based spray that not only kept steel dry, it could also be applied to many different surfaces and materials. Rather than just concentrate on steel, Ross decided to create a new product based on the spray known as NeverWet, which we should all hopefully benefit from using soon. The spray actually uses nanoparticles and is superhydrophobic. Freedom Vaults : Guidelines for Saying No to Police Searches - StumbleUpon.
One of the main powers that law enforcement officers carry is the power to intimidate citizens into voluntarily giving up their rights.
Police are trained to believe in their authority and trained to perform their interactions with private citizens with confidence. It is their job to deal with problems and they learn to manage uncomfortable situations through strength. Most people, when confronted by police get a mild panic reaction, become anxious, and try to do whatever they can to minimize the time spent with the officer. Top 10 Popular Shot & Shooter Recipes. Today, September 22, marks the day for the fastest drinking record; Dustin Phillips of the United States consumed a 14 ounce bottle of Ketchup through a 1/4” straw in 33 seconds flat ten years ago.
Ketchup seems a nasty ‘beverage’ to guzzle willingly, yet many enthusiastic participants flock to bars weekly to start (or end) the evening with the downing of a shot that none would eagerly sip slowly enough to take in the flavor or texture for a lingering moment on the tongue.

True 3D display created using a laser and 50,000 dots per second – Computer Chips & Hardware Technology. 3D capable displays are becoming pretty commonplace, but not everyone likes them.
The problem is you either have to wear glasses to see the 3D, or are limited by the viewing angle with the non-glasses solutions. Even if you get it right, some people still feel sick after a while due to the way in which our eyes are being fed the 3D image. What we need is for someone to come up with a proper 3D display that doesn’t even need a flat screen. Burton Inc. is attempting just that and has demonstrated a new, true 3D display that uses a laser to create luminous points of light in 3D space.
The technology used to create the display has been knocking around since 2006, and is a joint collaboration between Burton, the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and Keio University. In this early prototype the display can project 50,000 dots per second and works at up to 15 frames per second. Researchers develop quantum membranes. UK scientists invent artificial petrol - News Archive. Boffins at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, near Oxford have invented an ‘artificial’ petrol, which costs just 90 pence per gallon and could run in existing cars.
Motorists could even be able to drive for 300 to 400 miles before needing to fill up. The breakthrough comes as average UK fuel prices have hit a record high. Scientists unveil tools for rewriting the code of life. MIT and Harvard researchers have developed technologies that could be used to rewrite the genetic code of a living cell, allowing them to make large-scale edits to the cell’s genome.
Such technology could enable scientists to design cells that build proteins not found in nature, or engineer bacteria that are resistant to any type of viral infection. The technology, described in the July 15 issue of Science, can overwrite specific DNA sequences throughout the genome, similar to the find-and-replace function in word-processing programs. MIT Creates New Energy Source - StumbleUpon. This is some pretty exciting news.
It seems that researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), one of the most prestigious science and engineering schools in the United States, has created a new energy source -- and it's clean and renewable. Nano - StumbleUpon. Heads Up, Hoverboarders: Here Comes Quantum Levitation. New material can enhance energy, computer, lighting technologies. Arizona State University researchers have created a new compound crystal material that promises to help produce advances in a range of scientific and technological pursuits.
ASU electrical engineering professor Cun-Zheng Ning says the material, called erbium chloride silicate, can be used to develop the next generations of computers, improve the capabilities of the Internet, increase the efficiency of silicon-based photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into electrical energy, and enhance the quality of solid-state lighting and sensor technology. Ning's research team of team of students and post-doctoral degree assistants help synthesize the new compound in ASU's Nanophotonics Lab in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, one of the university's Ira A. Scientists Develop World's Lightest Metal, 100x Lighter than Styrofoam. This, we assure you, is a real photograph.
Researchers at the University of California Irvine have developed a material that is as strong as metal yet 100 times lighter than Styrofoam. Ceramic Kendama Creation - Zack Yourd. Kendama Co.
