Particle-free silver ink prints small, high-performance electronics.
Reactive silver ink is airbrushed onto a thin, stretchy plastic film to make a flexible silver electrode (credit: S.
Brett Walker) University of Illinois materials scientists have developed a new silver ink for printing high-performance electronics on ubiquitous, low-cost materials such as flexible plastic, paper or fabric substrates. Electronics printed on low-cost, flexible materials hold promise for antennas, batteries, sensors, solar energy, wearable devices and more. Most conductive inks rely on tiny metal particles suspended in the ink. Www.ict-cogeu.eu/pdf/COGEU_D2_1 (ICT_248560).pdf. Most Americans say research and development are key to building US economy. A new edition of America Speaks, a compilation of public opinion polls commissioned by Research!
America, demonstrates increasing public support for research and innovation to improve health, create jobs and boost the economy. However, nearly 60% of Americans don’t believe we are making enough progress in medical research, and 54% don’t believe the U.S. has the best health care system in the world. These polls reveal notable themes in Americans’ views on health research and the country’s global competitiveness.
For example, 77% agree that the U.S. is losing its competitive edge in science, technology and innovation. Despite these findings, many Americans (86%) believe that advances in science have benefited society and have helped make life easier for most people.

However, that increase in traffic won’t be dominated by one region. How much will each region contribute to the worldwide traffic expansion? Just by sheer population size alone, one could assume that the Asia-Pacific region would lead in Internet traffic growth. However, that assumption would only be partially accurate. Asia-Pacific is forecast to lead in file-sharing traffic and Internet Gaming traffic. The infographic below provides an interesting visual projection of what Internet usage will look like in 2015.

The end of the Internet as we know it may be right around the corner — but not if the Mozilla Foundation has anything to say about it.
The maker of Firefox, a non-profit organization, has launched a campaign to help block the passage of both the ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ (SOPA) and the ‘Protect IP Act’ (PIPA), each of which may soon go up for a vote in Congress. Those who join the campaign are asked to call their senators and representatives and express their ardent opposition to these bills by this Tuesday. What are SOPA and PIPA, anyway? Both PIPA and SOPA aim to crack down on websites that illegally distribute copyrighted material, like movies, songs and TV shows, just as the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) tried to accomplish in the past.
Supporters and critics Other possible consequences of SOPA and PIPA Conclusion In short: SOPA and PIPA would likely do little to achieve their explicit goals of curbing online piracy.
