World’s Largest Laser Unveiled
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the May 31st, 2009
Tags: Laser, National Ignition Facility
“Bringing Star Power to Earth”, a banner erected next to the $3.5
billion National Ignition Facility (NIF) which holds the record-
breaking laser which is made up of 192 individual beams. Each one
about 40 centimeters square. The laser fusion facility is designed to
reduce tiny pellets of hydrogen into thermonuclear energy.
From NIF director, More energy will be produced by this ignition
process than the amount of laser energy required to start it. This is
the long-sought goal of energy gain that has been the goal of fusion
researchers for more than half a century.

Angel & Demons Antimatter Real?
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the May 17th, 2009
Tags: Angels and Demons, Antimatter
Antimatter is real but currently it cannot be used to produce a bomb
as shown in the latest Dan Brown movie “Angel and Demons”. CERN is a
real organisation but an antimatter bomb was never produced in CERN.
From CERN: When antimatter comes into contact with matter it
annihilates: the mass of the particle and its antiparticle are
converted into pure energy. Large-scale annihilation of antimatter and
matter could theoretically be used in a destructive way. However,
there is no way that antimatter could be created in sufficient
quantities to be used in a bomb. Nor could it be transported, as the
antimatter traps capable of containing any significant quantity of
antimatter would have to be enormous, and would require huge amounts
of energy to operate.
Yes, CERN did capitalised from the movie by having a Angels and Demon
microsite.

Research Into Invisibility Cloak
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the April 30th, 2009
Tags: Invisibility Cloak
Humans have been fascinated with invisibility cloaking device. The
Klingons do so on Star Trek. So how far have researchers gone in their
search for invisibility. Previously reported, scientists from David R.
Smith’s lab at Duke University are moving closer to creating a real
cloak of invisibility.
Recently researchers from Cornell University and UC Berkeley claim to
have prototyped their own cloaking devices. Both designs are based on
an idea inspired by theoretical physicist John Pendry at Imperial
College, London. The basic idea is to steer light around an object,
fooling you into seeing only the background view.

Most Earth-like Planet Found
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the April 22nd, 2009
Tags: Earth, Gliese 581d, Planet
Scientist has found Gliese 581d, 1.9 times size of Earth, has a lot
more in common with our planet than astronomers first thought. Michel
Mayor, an astrophysicist at Geneva University in Switzerland said, The
Holy Grail of current exoplanet research is the detection of a rocky,
Earth-like planet in the ‘habitable zone,’
It is said that Gliese 581d could even be covered by a large and deep
ocean and it is the first serious ‘water world’ candidate.

Glacier Bleeds Million-Year-Old Microbe
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the April 16th, 2009
Tags: Million-Year-Old Microbe
The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica was seen to be bleeding red
water like blood waterfall. Scientist investigating this phenomena
discovered this is caused by tiny organisms which have survived for
millions of years, living on sulfur and iron compounds.
The microbes descended from marine microorganisms and they stayed
alive by generating energy from chemical reactions with sulfur and
iron.

Action Games Sharpen Eyesight
Posted in Gaming, Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the March 30th, 2009
Tags: Eyesight, Game
University of Rochester research shows that playing action video games
make you notice even very small changes in shades of grey against a
uniform background. Basically improving your eyesight.
Researcher Daphne Bavelier said, Normally, improving contrast
sensitivity means getting glasses or eye surgery, somehow changing the
optics of the eye. But we’ve found that action video games train the
brain to process the existing visual information more efficiently, and
the improvements last for months after game play stopped.

Ethical Stem Cell Technology
Posted in Research, Technology by AURUM3 NewTech on the March 1st,
2009
Tags: stem cell
Researchers from UK and Canadian have manipulated human skin cells to
act like embryonic stem cells without using viruses. This process make
it safer for humans as using viruses have the risk they could become
cancerous.
The new method uses genes instead to trigger IPS cells into useful
stem cells.

NASA’s Carbon Observatory Satellite Crashes
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the February 24th, 2009
Tags: Orbiting Carbon Observatory, satellite
NASA’s $278 million satellite designed to monitor carbon dioxide
emissions in Earth’s atmosphere crashed into the Indian Ocean near
Antarctica this morning. A clamshell nose cone that shields the
satellite as it goes through the atmosphere failed to separate as
commanded.
John Brunschwyler, the Taurus program manager said, “As a direct
result of carrying that extra weight we could not make orbit”.
Scientists wanted to use the Orbiting Carbon Observatory to discover
how carbon dioxide, suspected of being a trigger of global climate
change, is cycling through the planet.

Flex Insulin Pump That Sticks To Your Skin
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the February 19th, 2009
Tags: Flex Insulin Pump
Designer Ellaluna Taylor has created an Insulin Pump system that is
worn naturally under clothing as a discreet glucose management
solution. She described it as a revolutionary method of Continuous
Subcutaneous Insulin Treatment.
Designed with a Remote Micro Reader Interface the Therapy System is
programmed through the use of a unique integrated Pump Interface and
Blood Glucose Reader. Simple and easy to use the Flex Micro-Reader
allows for instant Blood glucose level readings and the Remote
transmission of Insulin Dosage adjustments allowing for greater
control.

Amorphous Metals Used In Nano-device Fabrication
Posted in Research by AURUM3 NewTech on the February 15th, 2009
Tags: Amorphous Metals, Nano techonolgy
We have seen the shape changing ability of T-1000 in Terminator 2. The
T-1000 is made out of “a mimetic polyalloy”, essentially liquid metal,
that allows it to take the shape and appearance of anything it
touches.
Now we have engineers from Yale University invented the “amorphous
metals” known as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) that can avoid
crystalizing when cooled in a specific way. This metal acts as a slow-
flowing liquid, with no structure beyond the atomic level. Yale
engineers is now using this technology to create nano-patterning of
details as small as 13 nanometers and the scientists expect that even
finer detail will be possible since the BMGs are only limited by the
size of a single atom.
