A first: Stanford engineers build basic computer using carbon nanotubes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9j36d25VMo A team of Stanford engineers has built a basic computer using carbon nanotubes, a semiconductor material that has the potential to launch a new generation of electronic devices that run faster, while using less energy, than those made from silicon chips. This unprecedented feat culminates years of efforts by scientists around the world to... Continue Reading →
The LHC Has Found a New Particle Unlike Any Other Form of Matter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3azYAQ_oWSc Not content with perhaps the biggest scientific discovery of the decade, scientists at the Large Hadron Collide continue to search for new particles—and now they've found one that seems to be an entirely new form of matter. A series of experiments at the LHC have confirmed that a new particle called Z(4430)—catchy!— actually exists,... Continue Reading →
A New Era In Science: “Synthia” The First Synthetic Life Is Created
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHIocNOHd7A In a paper published today in the journal Science, the J. Craig Venter Institute and Synthetic Genomics Inc announced the laboratory creation of the world’s first self-reproducing organism whose entire genome was built from scratch by a machine. The construction of this synthetic organism, anticipated and dubbed “Synthia” by the ETC Group three years... Continue Reading →
