Coole Erfindungen/Entdeckungen

[madmaxx]

Wenn irgendeine Bahnbrechende astronomische oder physikalische Entdeckung gemacht wird interessiert es keinen, aber Schuhe die man umklappen kann schon? Verrückte Welt.

astronomie und physik sind halt nicht gesellschaftstauglich.

das ist der tätowierte unter den wissenschaften

Also, ich find's beeindruckend..

Auch sehr sehr geil die Maus.

An anonymous reader writes "Street lights are an important part of our urban
infrastructure — they light our way home and make the roads safe at night. But
what if we could create natural street lights that don't need electricity to
power them? A group of scientists in Taiwan recently discovered that placing
gold nanoparticles within the leaves of trees causes them to give off a luminous
reddish glow. The idea of using trees to replace street lights is an ingenious
one — not only would it save on electricity costs and cut CO2 emissions, but it
could also greatly reduce light pollution in major cities."

das find ich mal wirklich cool. hab mir den original artikel durchgelesen. die bilder, die man sehen konnte, sahen zwar schön aus, aber ob dieser 'reddish glow' nicht auf die dauer nervig wäre? und ich bin auch grad zu faul zu gucken, wie kostenintensiv und/oder kompliziert die synthese von gold nanopartikeln ist. aber ansonsten: cool.

Gute Idee, aber: spätestens, wenn die Blätter im Herbst/Winter abfallen (oder eigentlich schon, wenn sie sich verfärben, das scheint ja über das Chlorophyll zu funktionieren) braucht man doch sowieso wieder die normale Straßenbeleuchtung, oder? Ob sich das für das halbe Jahr lohnen würde?

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at the U.K's University of Newcastle
have created a new type of bacteria that generates glue to hold together cracks
in concrete structures - that means everything from concrete sidewalks to
buildings that have been damaged by earthquakes. When the cells have been
germinated, they burrow deep into the concrete until they reach the bottom. At
this point, the concrete repair process is activated, and the cells split into
three types that produce calcium carbonate crystals, act as reinforcing fibers,
and produce glue which acts as a binding agent to fill concrete gaps."

und noch eins aus der Biotechnologie hinterher:

techbeat writes "A strain of Escherichia coli bacteria can now solve the logic
puzzles – with some help from a group of students at the University of Tokyo,
Japan, reports New Scientist. The team begin with 16 types of E. coli, each
colony assigned a distinct genetic identity depending on which square it
occupied within a four-by-four sudoku grid.The bacteria can also express one of
four colours to represent the numerical value of their square. As with any
sudoku puzzle, a small number of the grid squares are given a value from the
beginning by encouraging the bacteria in these squares to differentiate and take
on one of the four colours.The Tokyo team's sudoku-solving bacteria competed in
the International Genetically Engineered Machine competition at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology last week."

Hugh Pickens writes "Researchers at MIT have developed a laser camera that can
'see' around corners and take pictures of a scene not in its direct line of
sight. The camera system fires extremely short bursts of light that can reflect
off one object, such as the open door of a room, and then off a second object
inside the room before reflecting back to the first object and being captured by
the camera, after which algorithms can use the information to reconstruct the
hidden scene exploiting the fact that it is possible to capture light at
extremely short time scales, about one quadrillionth of a second. By
continuously gathering light and computing the time and distance that each pixel
has traveled, the camera creates a '3D time-image' of the scene it can't
directly see. 'It's like having X-ray vision without the X-rays,' says Professor
Ramesh Raskar. 'We're going around the problem rather than going through it.'"

Immunzell-DNA verrät das Alter
Oft findet man an Tatorten kaum mehr als ein paar Blutflecke. Mit einer neuen Methode können Forensiker nun selbst aus solchen Spuren das Alter einer Person ermitteln.
