Alert! All Sandy Bridge chipsets are faulty!

“As phenomenal as Intel’s new Sandy Bridge processors turned out to be, nothing in this world is truly perfect. Intel announced earlier this morning that it has discovered a flaw in the 6-series chipsets that accompany the new processor family. While it reassures users that they can “continue to use their systems with confidence,” the chipmaker has nonetheless halted chipset shipments until a new, bug-free version of the silicon starts to ship out late next month.”

New painkiller offers no side effects or addictive qualities

“An astonishing new painkiller has been developed at Stony Brook University. It boasts no side effects or addictive qualities and could be ready for consumption within a year or two.

“This offers a major paradigm shift in the control of pain,” Dr. Simon Halegoua said in a press release.

Halegoua is a Professor of Neurobiology & Behavior at Stony Brook who in the 1990s, teamed up with fellow Stony Brook professors Dr. Gail Mandel and Dr. Paul Brehm to discover a novel sodium ion channel involved in the transmission of pain. They guessed that a drug aimed at blocking this channel, PN1/Nav 1.7, would control pain. PN1 (Peripheral Neuron 1), is uniquely expressed in peripheral nerves such as those involved in pain transduction.

“When a patient is given an opiate like morphine, pain signals are still transmitted from sensory nerves to the central nervous system. Morphine action throughout the brain reduces and alters pain perception, but it also impairs judgement and results in drug dependence,” explains Halegoua, also director of the Center for Nervous System Disorders at Stony Brook University. “With drugs targeting the PN1/Nav1.7 sodium ion channel, the pain signals would not be transmitted, even by the sensory nerves. And since the central nervous system is taken out of the equation, there would be no side effects and no addictive qualities.”"

App Turns iPhone into a Smarter Camera

“When a person uses SynthCam, she selects a still point of interest, like a statue, and taps its location on the phone’s screen. Then she moves the phone in a small circle around the fixed point for about 10 seconds. The app tracks the point of interest, searching for it in all frames. Realigning all of the images produces the composite one—showing the item of interest in sharp focus and the background out of focus.

In addition to simulating a shallow depth of field, SynthCam collects more light, producing better pictures in low-light conditions. It also removes moving objects from the background, since the composite is captured over 10 seconds or more.

Levoy says he developed the app, which costs 99 cents from the App Store, to let people see what’s possible on phone cameras. He expects an explosion of apps that use computational photography techniques over the next few years. “I’m not going to get rich over this,” he says. “But if it encourages other people to do the same, then that’s a good thing.”"

Capturing More Light with a Single Solar Cell

“In a conventional semiconductor material, it takes a certain amount of energy to free an electron and generate electricity. Photons that have less energy—say, the photons in infrared light—don’t generate electricity. And if a photon has more than the minimum—for instance a photon in energetic ultraviolet light—the extra energy is wasted as heat.

The new semiconductor material is based on gallium arsenide. Normally, this material requires high-energy photons to generate electricity. But the researchers modified it so that the energy from more than one photon is used to free an electron—energy adds up until an electron is freed. Replacing some of the arsenic atoms in the material with nitrogen atoms creates regions that act as stepping stones for electrons that have absorbed some energy from low-energy photons, where they can wait to receive energy from more photons, says Wladek Walukiewicz, who leads the Solar Energy Materials Research Group at the Lawrence Berkeley lab, and also led the project.”

OCZ Z-Drive R3 PCI-E, 1 GB/s and TRIM

“OCZ has just announced the new version of its PCI-Express Z-Drive SSD, the R3. Available in 300, 600 and 1200 GB versions, the R3 has no fewer than four SandForce SF-1565 controllers, which allows it to reach sequential reads of 1 GB/s and writes of 900 MB/s and 135,000 IOPS in random 4 KB writes. For the P84 version, the Z-Drive R3s use MLC but OCZ says that there may also be SLC and eMLC versions.

Interestingly, OCZ says that its new VCA (Virtualized Controller Architecture) technology allows the combination of several controllers at the same time as retaining access to the SMART and TRIM technologies.”

I, algorithm: A new dawn for artificial intelligence

“Artificial intelligence has finally become trustworthy enough to watch over everything from nuclear bombs to premature babies

GIVEN the choice between a flesh-and-blood doctor and an artificial intelligence system for diagnosing diseases, Pedro Domingos is willing to stake his life on AI. “I’d trust the machine more than I’d trust the doctor,” says Domingos, a computer scientist at the University of Washington, Seattle. Considering the bad rap AI usually receives – overhyped, underwhelming – such strong statements in its support are rare indeed.

Back in the 1960s, AI systems started to show great promise for replicating key aspects of the human mind. Scientists began by using mathematical logic to both represent knowledge about the real world and to reason about it, but it soon turned out to be an AI straightjacket. While logic was capable of being productive in ways similar to the human mind, it was inherently unsuited for dealing with uncertainty.”

Aşa arată paradisul porcilor

“Insula Porcilor din Arhipelagul Bahamas a devenit o atracţie pentru turiştii din întreaga lume.

Vin aici să înoate cu animalele, care nu se tem de ei. Porcii au fost aduşi pe insulă, în trecut, de către marinarii care au trecut pe acolo, în ideea că vor constitui o bună sursă de hrană pe viitor.

Navigatorii nu s-au mai întors, iar porcii au supravieţuit, adaptându-se locului. Disperaţi să găsească hrană, ei au învăţat să înoate şi, când văd un iaht în apropiere, avansează în larg şi fac giumbuşlucuri, impresionându-i pe cei de la bord care le aruncă alimente pe săturate.

Porcii se simt minunat pe insula lor, lâncezesc pe plajă şi dorm. Nu se tem de Ignat, nimeni nu îi taie. Se bucură când văd oameni şi înoată cu ei.”

In China, the true cost of Britain’s clean, green wind power experiment: Pollution on a disastrous scale

“The reality is that, as Britain flaunts its environmental credentials by speckling its coastlines and unspoiled moors and mountains with thousands of wind turbines, it is contributing to a vast man-made lake of poison in northern China. This is the deadly and sinister side of the massively profitable rare-earths industry that the ‘green’ companies profiting from the demand for wind turbines would prefer you knew nothing about.

Hidden out of sight behind smoke-shrouded factory complexes in the city of Baotou, and patrolled by platoons of security guards, lies a five-mile wide ‘tailing’ lake. It has killed farmland for miles around, made thousands of people ill and put one of China’s key waterways in jeopardy.

This vast, hissing cauldron of chemicals is the dumping ground for seven million tons a year of mined rare earth after it has been doused in acid and chemicals and processed through red-hot furnaces to extract its components.”

Miracle fabric

“Called Omni-Heat, this synthetic material keeps the wearer 20 percent warmer, for the same given weight, as its nearest competitor, making it ideal for alpine athletes and anyone who values lightweight garments in their cold- weather pursuits.

“The objective of developing Omni- Heat was to help athletes reach that comfort zone so they need not worry about the elements and instead can focus on their sport,” said Laiman Tam, managing director of Swire Resources, the company that represents Columbia in Hong Kong.

“It’s our top-of-the-line technology. It’s very expensive to produce, but we think the benefits to the user are worth it.”

To athletes in skiing or snowboarding disciplines, the innovation is definitely a godsend. Tam, who enjoys traveling to various alpine destinations for winter sports, said Omni-Heat kept her body at an optimum temperature the last time she went skiing with a jacket lined with the technology.

“I enjoy skiing a lot. I’ve used Omni- Heat on the slopes, and I felt warm in the cold and, after some vigorous skiing, it didn’t feel stuffy like in a traditional jacket.”"

Biomega NYC, LDN Urban Commuters

“Recently, Biomega worked with Puma not only on various bikes but to launch a website. Now Biomega has announced they will release two new urban commuters, the NYC and LDN.

Biomega brought in two artist to design the respective bikes. Ross Lovegrove designed the LDN, and Danish design group KiBiSi took on the NYC model. One thing both bikes will have in common is a belt drive, and integrated mudguard.

The Biomega LDN frame is made of carbon fiber sheets, that are layered for a stiff and light one piece monocoque commuter frame. The form is similar to a wishbone, while all parts of the drive (systems and steering). The split towards the forks was added for two reasons: to lighten the bike, and to hang from a wall.

Biomega NYC takes a page out of the CPH book, but the difference is the NYC uses a smooth carbon fiber belt drive. Although a classic silhouette, the NYC utilizes a integrated front mudguard within the aluminum down tube.”
