dave mead photography by: dave mead | buy one Welcome to the Colorado Springs Photographers Group Canoë - Techno-Sciences - Des vêtements intelligents pour détecter les maladies Des chercheurs Américains et en Chinois viennent de faire de sérieux progrès vers la production relativement simple et peu coûteuse de «tissus intelligents», des textiles électroniques capables de détecter les maladies, surveiller le rythme cardiaque ainsi que d'autres signes vitaux. Les résultats de cette recherche digne d’un roman de science-fiction publié dans le magazine scientifique ACS' Nano Letters de décembre. Dans cette étonnante étude, Nicholas A. Kotov de l’Université du Michigan et Chuanlai Xu de l’Université Jiangnan, soulignent que les textiles électroniques, ou «e-textiles», sont déjà une réalité. Toutefois, ceux qui existent actuellement sont volumineux, rigides et complexes si bien qu’ils ne sont pas du tout pratiques. Les fabricants de textiles ont besoin de matériaux à la fois simples et souples pour être en mesure de fabriquer des fibres intelligentes utilisables pour des applications futures.

Drawing Hands This short tutorial is a just a small taste of a larger and much more in-depth book I wrote called The Mad Art of Caricature!

He set them out in order of atomic weight, and then grouped them into rows and columns based on their chemical and physical properties. 1869...that's way before the Schrödinger model, or even the Rutherford model. That's right. Mendeleev had no idea what atoms were made of or why they behaved as they did. Based on the gaps in his table, Mendeleev even succeeded in predicting the existence and properties of several new elements. That's pretty impressive. His basic rule was this: the elements in any column, or group, of the table are similar to their column-mates.
