Cyborg Crickets Could Form Mobile Communications Network, Save Human Lives

(PhysOrg.com) — By taking advantage of the way crickets communicate, researchers are building “cyborg crickets” that could form a mobile communications network for emergency situations, such as detecting chemical attacks on the battlefield, locating disaster victims, monitoring gas leaks, and acting as smoke detectors. more>>>

I’m new to H+Cafe and would love input from you on this report I compiled. I put this report together for my Safety and Security class as part of my MBA. Your thoughts, both positive and negative would be much appreciated:-)

Personal privacy infringment is a huge issue with respect to RFID technology. The best practices outlined below are guidelines for organizations that would like to implement RFID systems in thier workplace.

For those of you who have good knowledge about ubiquitous technology, specifically RFID systems, please skip the LONG introduction and move onto the Global Best Practicies (they are numbered from 1 to 10)

Micheal Anissimov made an announcement today that there will be a Singularity Summit 09 and it will be in New York this year. more>>>

On the first day of Singularity University the students and staff were given the opportunity to sit down with Ray Kurzweil in a Q&A free-for-all.

“It is the thinnest known material in the universe, and the strongest ever measured,” Andre Geim, a physicist at the University of Manchester, England, wrote in the June 19 issue of the journal Science.

“A few grams could cover a football field,” said Rod Ruoff, a graphene researcher at the University of Texas, Austin, in an e-mail. A gram is about 1/30th of an ounce.

Like diamond, graphene is pure carbon. It forms a six-sided mesh of atoms that, through an electron microscope, looks like a honeycomb or piece of chicken wire. Despite its strength, it’s as flexible as plastic wrap and can be bent, folded or rolled up like a scroll.

Graphite, the lead in a pencil, is made of stacks of graphene layers. Although each individual layer is tough, the bonds between them are weak, so they slip off easily and leave a dark mark when you write.

Potential graphene applications include touch screens, solar cells, energy storage devices, cell phones and, eventually, high-speed computer chips. more>>>

All Things Considered, July 11, 2009 · On the Delaware Bay shore, there’s a swinging party that’s been taking place for millions of years.

If you’re a female horseshoe crab, then it’s your night. You’ll swim to shore, meet a special someone and he’ll clasp onto the back of your shell. You and he will crawl onto the beach together, where you’ll spawn at high tide under the light of the full moon.

But the mate attached to your shell is not your only tryst. On this night, you will mate with up to 13 males, all at the same time. Thousands of horseshoe crabs will pile on top of one another, glistening shells covering the beach for miles.

“We just love the whole phenomena of how once a year, for a season, they do this incredible mating on the beach,” Keith Rutter says. “I don’t know how anybody can watch this and not get excited about nature and science and how things work in the world.” more>>>

WASHINGTON, July 12 (Reuters) – The United States will spend another $1 billion for ingredients for an H1N1 vaccine, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said on Sunday.

“There’ll be another $1 billion worth of orders placed to get the bulk ingredients for an H1N1 vaccination. Congress has agreed with the president that this is the number one priority, keeping Americans safe and secure,” Sebelius said on CNN. more>>>

It’s a beautiful summer day. You pull on your stain-resistant cargo shorts and odor-resistant hiking socks, gulp down an energy-boosting supplement, slather yourself with sunscreen and head out for a ramble in the woods. Are you poisoning yourself? When you get home, you jump in the shower and toss your clothes in the wash. Are you poisoning the environment? Maybe.

Your sunscreen, energy drink and high-tech clothing may be among the 800-plus consumer products made with nanomaterials: those manufactured at the scale of atoms and molecules. Sunscreen that turns clear on the skin contains titanium dioxide, an ordinary UV-blocker in extraordinarily small particles. Odor-eating socks are made with atoms of germ-killing silver. Supplement makers boast of amazing health effects from swallowing nanosolutions that are completely untested for effectiveness or safety. And that stain-repellant clothing? The manufacturer won’t even tell you what nanomaterials are in it. more>>>

When Tufts University Assistant Chemistry Professor Charles Sykes says he loves playing with blocks, he’s not referring to the typical kids’ toys. Instead, he’s talking about his fascination with seeing atoms and molecules move on a computer screen in front of him and using technology to move the molecules himself to see how they react to various surfaces.

“I never get bored looking at pictures of atoms,” said Sykes, who holds the Usen Family Career Development Assistant Professorship at Tufts University. “Atoms and molecules are the building blocks of life, but it has only been in the last 25 years that we have been able to see them and in the last 15 years that we have been able to play with them.” more>>>

(PhysOrg.com) — While applauding findings that an Easter Island compound extends the lives of middle-aged mice, University of Washington longevity researchers caution that healthy people shouldn’t start taking the drug in the hopes of extending their own life spans — at least not yet. more>>>

Adrian Hooke, a veteran of the Apollo 11 mission launch team, manages the new space DTN project.

“Typically spacecraft go off and do their thing, gather up data, and then on some schedule they connect to the ground and [we] pull down the results of what it has been doing and send up instructions for the next time period,” Hooke said.

Such manual operations are inefficient and expensive. But simply extending Earth’s Internet into space won’t work.

The Web uses Transmission-Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), a type of communication language in which hosts and computers must be constantly connected.

This rarely happens in space, where intermittent connections are the norm because of the vast distances involved and the tendency of orbiting moons, rotating planets, and drifting satellites to temporarily disrupt wireless lines of communication. more>>>

People with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor, according to new research.

A team of scientists has tracked down a genetic mutation that leads to blue eyes. The mutation occurred between 6,000 and 10,000 years ago, so before then, there were no blue eyes.

“Originally, we all had brown eyes,” said Hans Eiberg from the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine at the University of Copenhagen. more>>>

Losing patience with PC’s that are slow, crash a lot, and are vulnerable to virus attacks? Get a Mac! You get what you pay for. Stop buying crummy Windows. Now Macs aren’t perfect but I admit mine only crashes when I’m doing something stupid to it or running crummy software on it. Anyway, if Google makes a Netbook I very well might go for that! Here’s the article:

SAN FRANCISCO — If at times you’re frustrated with your PC — and who isn’t? — Google says it is working on a solution.

Many people easily lose patience with PCs that are slow to start up and prone to crashing, vulnerable to virus attacks and constantly in need of fiddly updates. Hoping to turn that irritation to its advantage, Google is developing an operating system — the underlying software that handles the most basic functions of a computer. more>>>
