Mumbai Science - Unified Theory Part 1 Mumbai Science: "Over the coming months, we'll release three EP's. One release a month, starting from January the 9th". That's right, the duo plans to release not one, not two, but three original EP's. hence: trilogy! (although the guys prefer to call it their 'triumvirate'). Pretentious you say? We call it ambitious. Part 1 consists of two tracks. With "Researchers", Mumbai Science experiments with chopped up vocals and 80s strings, combining them with their trademark sound. The second track, "Commandments", is slower and strikes with its obscure, lingering bassline. Perfect for the darker corners of the club! TRACKLIST 1. Mumbai Science - Researchers 2.

Researchers Turn Living Cells Into Logic Gates, Moving Towards Cell Circuits


Follow: @SlateViral, Facebook.com/SlateVideo Watch: YouTube.com/Slatester, SlateV.com Biocomputing—it's not just for Star Trek Borgs anymore! Scientists at Johns Hopkins have engineered cells that behave like AND and OR Boolean logic gates, taking an important step towards using living cells to create computer circuits. While previous research in synthetic biology has shown success generating logic gates based on biomolecules in test tubes or Petri dishes, this method, published in Nature Chemical Biology, creates a much faster output signal. By bringing together two proteins into a complex in the presence of a chemical, the cell's membrane develops ruffles easily visible under a microscope, all in a matter of seconds. Eventually, researchers may be able to build more complex circuits using these logic gates to form the basis of a full blown cellular computer. Researchers who worked on the project also believe individual cellular circuits could be used as diagnostic agents, or even to further study how the natural output of cells keep bodily functions running smoothly. Whatever comes next, one thing's for sure—Moore's Law is alive and well. Next we'll have circuits made with single atoms!

Invisibility Breakthrough for Japanese Researchers


For more news and videos visit ☛ ‪english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ☛ ‪http Add us on Facebook ☛ ‪me.lt The technology comes from 2003, but it's developers say the Harry Potter-like invisibility cloak is just the beginning. The team, led by Dr. Susumu Tachi, from Keio University, is now adapting their findings to help pilots, drivers, doctors and others. Retro-reflective projection technology uses a computer, a video camera and projector to shine background images onto the front of a subject wearing specialised clothing, creating the illusion of invisibility. What makes the technology unique is a fabric made of glass beads only 50 microns wide, which can reflect light directly back at the source, much like the screen in a cinema. Viewed from near the light source, the projection is bright even in broad daylight, and researchers say the material can be applied to almost anything. In the short term, the team sees usage in car interiors, airplanes and helicopters. They say blind spots could be eliminated and accidents and hard landings avoided by making walls seemingly transparent. The eventual goal though is to create an "augmented reality" that allows anyone to easily see information on real world objects. [Dr. Susumu Tachi, Keio University]: "Looking to the future, instead of glasses, people could wear this and it would act as a navigation system. It could also tell you who someone is, if you meet them around town." In the few years since the technology's <b>...</b>

Emory University researchers have developed a new methodology to scan the brains of alert dogs and explore the minds of the oldest domesticated species. The technique uses harmless functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), the same tool that is unlocking secrets of the human brain.

BREAKING: Quadrupole Sun - Four poles soon(Quadrupolar), say researchers -- 2012 News quadripole


Press Release : hinode.nao.ac.jp ajw.asahi.com hinode.nao.ac.jp The sun may be entering a period of reduced activity that could result in lower temperatures on Earth, according to Japanese researchers. Officials of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation said on April 19 that the activity of sunspots appeared to resemble a 70-year period in the 17th century in which London's Thames froze over and cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual in Kyoto. In that era, known as the Maunder Minimum, temperatures are estimated to have been about 2.5 degrees lower than in the second half of the 20th century. The Japanese study found that the trend of current sunspot activity is similar to records from that period. The researchers also found signs of unusual magnetic changes in the sun. Normally, the sun's magnetic field flips about once every 11 years. In 2001, the sun's magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere, flipped to the south. While scientists had predicted that the next flip would begin from May 2013, the solar observation satellite Hinode found that the north pole of the sun had started flipping about a year earlier than expected. There was no noticeable change in the south pole. If that trend continues, the north pole could complete its flip in May 2012 but create a four-pole magnetic structure in the sun, with two new poles created in the vicinity of the equator of our closest star. - The Asahi Shimbun

First "Goldilocks" Exoplanet Discovered by NASA-funded Researchers


A team of planet hunters led by astronomers at the University of California (UC), Santa Cruz and the Carnegie Institution of Washington has announced the discovery of a planet orbiting a nearby star, Gliese 581, at a distance that places it squarely in the middle of the star's "habitable zone." This would be the most Earth-like exoplanet and the first truly habitable one yet discovered. The research was supported by grants from NASA and the National Science Foundation. "Goldilocks" refers to an exoplanet whose temperatures are "not too cold, not too hot, but just right" to maintain water and support Earth-like life.

CIA Archives: LSD Experiment - Schizophrenic Model Psychosis Induced by LSD-25 - Art Drawing (1955)


DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org Introduced by Sandoz Laboratories, with trade-name Delysid, as a drug with various psychiatric uses in 1947, LSD quickly became a therapeutic agent that appeared to show great promise. In the 1950s the CIA thought it might be applicable to mind control and chemical warfare; the agency's MKULTRA research program propagated the drug among young servicemen and students. The subsequent recreational use of the drug by youth culture in the Western world during the 1960s led to a political firestorm that resulted in its prohibition. Currently, a number of organizations—including the Beckley Foundation, MAPS, Heffter Research Institute and the Albert Hofmann Foundation—exist to fund, encourage and coordinate research into the medicinal and spiritual uses of LSD and related psychedelics. Artists and scientists have been interested in the effect of LSD on drawing and painting since it first became available for legal use and general consumption. Dr. Oscar Janiger was one of the pioneers in the field studying the relationship between LSD and creativity. What fascinated Janiger was that "paintings, under the influence of LSD, had some of the attributes of what looked like the work done by schizophrenics." Janiger maintained that trained artists could "maintain a certain balance, riding the edge" of the LSD induced psychosis, "ride his creative Pegasus." Janiger coined the term '"dry schizophrenia," where a person was able to control the <b>...</b>

It was discovered in 1985, by a team of American and French researchers using a newly-developed ultra-sensitive sonar system, combined with advanced acoustic technology. The sinking of the Titanic has a macabre fascination for scientists and the public alike and researchers have been exploring the wreck since 1985. In 1986 a small underwater robot named Jason Junior or "JJ" produced the first images of the ship on the ocean floor. JJ was tethered to a manned submersible, nicknamed Alvin, hovering just metres away. But now with advanced communications and guidance systems, a new generation of vehicles is able to dive deeper, and remain submerged for longer. Much of this new technology was developed at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Falmouth, Massachusetts.

Fog-free glass


One of the most instantly recognizable features of glass is the way it reflects light. But a new way of creating surface textures on glass, developed by researchers at MIT, virtually eliminates reflections, producing glass that is almost unrecognizable because of its absence of glare — and whose surface causes water droplets to bounce right off, like tiny rubber balls. The new "multifunctional" glass, based on surface nanotextures that produce an array of conical features, is self-cleaning and resists fogging and glare, the researchers say. Ultimately, they hope it can be made using an inexpensive manufacturing process that could be applied to optical devices, the screens of smartphones and televisions, solar panels, car windshields and even windows in buildings. The technology is described in a paper published in the journal ACS Nano, co-authored by mechanical engineering graduate students Kyoo-Chul Park and Hyungryul Choi, former postdoc Chih-Hao Chang SM '04, PhD '08 (now at North Carolina State University), chemical engineering professor Robert Cohen, and mechanical engineering professors Gareth McKinley and George Barbastathis.

euronews hi-tech - Look no hands! Brainpower keeps chess in check


www.euronews.com In Berlin they have a unique way of playing chess. The player sits motionless and, as if by magic, his pieces move around the board. His brainwaves are being harnessed so he can play just by thinking about the next move. The secret is in the headgear developed by researchers from Berlin's Institute of Technology. Researcher Michael Tangermann explained: "What we are seeing here is a brain-computer interface. It is a connection between the computer and the brain and it reads the intention of the player and then converts it into a move. The player just needs to imagine which pawn he wants to move and where, then the computer recognises that and makes the move. So, the person can play without using his hands." Several electrodes measure brain activity in key areas and detect which piece the player intends to move. As soon as the player puts on the special cap, a system calibrates the software to recognise his or her specific traits. The brain-computer interface is not just for fun and games though. It could have serious medical applications, helping patients with severe motor neuron damage, for instance, to communicate with the outside world. "The research behind this demonstration is to help severely motor-impaired patients, who are not in a position to make chess moves or maybe not even able to communicate," Tangermann added. "But often patients are still cognitively just as capable as everyone else. So, we want to give them the possibility to show us what <b>...</b>

euronews hi-tech - Transparent driving


www.euronews.com Driving a car safely means doing more than keeping an eye on the road. The driver also has to keep an eye on the dashboard. But looking away from the road takes time; and can be fatal in dangerous situations. Now, 'chip' LED lights powered up with transparent wires could change the way drivers get information about their cars. At the Fiat Research Institute in Turin, Italy, researchers are working on new transparent screens. Vito Lambertini, a researcher on the project, said: "A display which is directly in front of a driver allows them to get information without distracting from their driving and their view of the road. It means they can get important information in real time." Scientists at the European Research Project Multiflexioxides have developed a display unit which works without backlighting. It is much thinner and lighter than traditional displays. Scientists developed these transparent displays using small glass pads with a transparent substrata of nano-sized oxides. To enhance the materials' conductivity they add a thin gold film. Using a method called microlithography the gold molecules settle on the treated area of the glass pad. A stencil with a pattern of very thin lines is laid over the prepared pad. Ultraviolet light destroys the gold layer and only the nearly invisible lines covered by the pattern remain on the glass. Chip LEDs are placed at the end of the gold lines. They are powered via the ultra-thin gold wires. Scientists in Italy <b>...</b>

However the countdown to its closure has already begun as Pihlaja, a Mining Engineer, at Pyhäsalmi mine explains: "We currently produce around 1,4 million tons of ore per year but if the metal prices stay at the current level, we won't be able to maintain the mine beyond the end of 2018". Metal mining throughout Europe is facing similar problems but scientists are becoming a regular fixture at the Pyhäsalmi Mine in an attempt to breath new life into an old industry. Juha Kaija, a Finnish Geologist talks about his research: "Metal resources exist in Europe but extracting them is socially and economically challenging. Our research aims to develop more efficient exploration methods and also at imagining new ways to re-use mining waste materials to give European metal mining a fresh new impetus". Finding new ores in active or abandoned metal mines is the researchers´first aim and that is no mean feat, especially for old, deep deposits. Timo Mäki, Chief Geologist, at Pyhäsalmi mine describes the difficulties: "Here in Finland and also in <b>...</b>

5/31/2012 -- Japanese officials forecast LARGE Tokyo earthquake soon


Original link here: www3.nhk.or.jp Japanese researchers say a massive earthquake could occur off a peninsula to the east of Tokyo, in an area separate from the one that triggered the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. The Geospatial Information Authority of Japan reported to a government panel on Wednesday that analysis of global positioning system data shows that the tip of the Boso Peninsula has been moving about 3 centimeters north each year since 1997. The authority says quake-causing strain may be building up in the area, where a marine tectonic plate slides under a continental plate. The situation is similar around the Miura Peninsula to the south of Tokyo, near Yokohama. Pressure there was released in the 1923 earthquake, but the area off Boso Peninsula has not had a major quake for at least 300 years. Researcher Takuya Nishimura says an earthquake occurring in this zone could have a magnitude of around 8. He says the authority will continue its analysis to increase the accuracy of its estimations.

euronews science - Scientist study the ocean


www.euronews.com Global warming is having a serious impact on the earth's water cycle. The water cycle is the continuous movement of water on, above and below the surface of the Earth. Australian researchers say the greenhouse effect is accelerating the cycle at almost twice the rate predicted by climate change models. Scientists, who carried out tests on a series of ocean samples, found that the acceleration of the water cycle has changed rainfall and evaporation, which has increased the ocean's salinity. A warmer atmosphere can absorb more water vapour but do due to prevailing winds the rain is not falling in the same places - causing drought in many areas. Researcher Susan Wijffels said: "The areas that are already dominated by rainfall and that are already wet are getting wetter, and the areas that are arid where evaporation dominates, those areas are getting drier." And this will have an impact on the growth and supply of food. When water evaporates from the surface of the ocean, it leaves the salt behind and increased saltiness which contributes to drought. To monitor these trends scientists have deployed numerous buoys in the ocean. They hope that in the future they can track the oceans salt levels.

euronews futuris - Tracking the health of Europe's railways


www.euronews.com Safety on Europe's railways is under the spotlight. Just over 3000 accidents were reported in 2009, with 174 of those were caused by rolling stock in motion. At the same time transport by rail continues to grow. By 2050 freight on Europe's railways is expected to have increased by 80 percent and the number of passengers by over 50 percent. With that comes an increase in the associated risks. With the aim of improving safety standards, a European research project in Leuven, Belgium, is monitoring trains through an analysis of sound and vibration as they travel. "We install two or three sensors on the rail", explained Tom Vanhonacker, the Rail System Manager at APT. "We measure and identify each train and every single wheel on the train that passes on our network, so we know if there is a defect." The system, based on High Frequency Vibration Monitoring technology, is cheap and takes up very little space. The researchers also say it is highly accurate. Sensors capture the vibrations each time a train passes by. Then a device reads the data which is transmitted it to a central server. By analysing the waves generated by each single wheel of the train, researchers are able to detect mis-shapen or broken wheels. Frederik Vermeulen from APT detailed how it works: "Day by day we collect all the vibration data. What you will see is that when every train passes you have a peak. We measure the peak acceleration, and if the peak is not normal, we know something <b>...</b>
