Performing Phone Call to Mind

Just think of the phone number you called, and you are directly connected to that number. This is not a ilusionist scene in the show, but it happened thanks to a recent discovery.

A group of scientists at the University of California, San Diego, United States (U.S.) sebuh develop a system that lets users make phone calls just by thinking about it.

As a new invention, the method is claimed to be quite accurate. The developers are optimistic, this finding could be very useful for people with disabilities or those who require more hands-free function.

Tzyy-Ping who led the research, explains that the system he developed with his team, to track electrical activity in the brain by means of a special headband equipped with electrodes and Bluetooth.

Reported by Mashable and quoted on Wednesday (13/04/2011), users who use a headband that connect to this computer will be shown a series of numbers from 0 to 9 on the screen.

Each digit is thinking blinks and detected by the electrode. Furthermore, Bluetooth will know it as the number to call and forward it to your mobile phone to make calls. "The level of accuracy has reached 70 to 85 percent," claims Ping.

However, this finding is still a prototype and needs further development. But at least, this shows the potential for the development of devices with growing minds based interface. As is known, there is also the invention of computers and wheelchairs are operated by the mind.

Titan, World's Fastest Computer

Title of world's fastest computer was taken back to the United States. A super computers made ​​by the U.S. Energy Department official was elected as the world's fastest computer. Similarly, researchers from PhysOrg.com presented, Thursday, March 24, 2011.

The computer was named "Titan". His ability is estimated to have a speed of 20 000 trillion calculations (calculations) per second, equal to 20 petaflops per second.

This speed is ultimately shift the super computer made ​​in China, Tianhe-1A, which had previously been in the top position since November 2010. At that time, computers made ​​by China's National Defense University has recorded an equivalent speed of 2.5 petaflops.

Titan, which was developed by Cray Computer, for the first time become part of the ranks of the world's fastest computer in the facility Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee.

In these facilities, laboratories ranks the world's fastest computer will be aligned with the lab of National Geographic, Gaea Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation Kraken, and the U.S. Department of Energy lab development, Jaguar.

Going forward, Titan will likely be used by the local Department of Energy to calculate the complex energy systems and government cost of U.S. $ 100 million, equivalent to Rp 870 billion.

The first stage of computation using the Titan is expected by the end of 2011. The second phase followed in subsequent years.

B-2 Spirit, U.S. Pledge Demon Plane

B-2 Spirit is a long-range strategic bombers that have the ability to escape from radar observations. The length of this plane reaches 21 meters, while a wingspan of 52 meters. Despite weighing up to 71 tons empty, the aircraft is capable of reaching speeds up to 760 kilometers per hour. United States developing this aircraft since 1978, but its existence was made public only in 1988.

Findings Seven Great Space in 2010

Astronomy Field admirable record of achievement. The year 2010 passed with a series of spectacular new findings. Many things unfold dijagat highway.
Space.com page findings worth noting seven thumbs up. This finding is not only important for the progress of the realm of space, but also has a big influence for the civilization of mankind in the future. Following the findings of the field of aerospace during 2010

Assessment is NOT FIXED
In nature there is always a provision. The theory was believed for decades. For example, the electromagnetic force is often called the structure constant or alpha. The element is always fixed anywhere. However, observations in nearby galaxies show that alpha can vary. The difference depends on the galaxy where it is located. This means that the speed of light or the strength of the electron has a variety of variables according to their respective locations.
The study was conducted in two places, namely through the Keck telescopes in Hawaii and grew up in Chile. Both observations cover the sky south and north. From there it is known, the alpha elements have a difference in space. In the northern sky, the structure still was able to shrink over increasing distances. Meanwhile, there are opposite in the southern sky

MEETING WITH comet Hartley
No one thought capable spacecraft Deep Impact comet visited two at once. After the extra distance to 4.6 million kilomete, Deep Impact eventually reaches the next target, comet Hartley2.
Before that, precisely in 2005, Deep Impact was down to Comet Tempel 1. He launched a research tool to the surface of the planet to study the composition of the comet.
However, the scientists found that the Deep Impact still has a power reserve to explore again. Mission to Hartley 2 produces findings that the peanut-shaped comet was still very active. He menyenburkan cyanide gas booster derived from carbon dioxide.

DARK MATTER identified
Many years into the mysteries of dark matter. In fact, the element that covers 80% of the material universe. His name is embedded because it is very difficult to be seen by spacecraft instruments.
However, experts astro physics to make a major breakthrough. They managed to identify signs of this dark matter. From there is hope to reveal all about. One of the findings concerning the dark matter particles. Characterized particles antiparticles. He will destroy whatever is nearby.
The researchers suspect, a sign of dark matter particles that is the destroyer of gamma rays. Fermi space telescope has detected gamma rays from the galactic center is much brighter than expected.
There is every probability derived from dark matter particles are reacting antiparticles. Based on activity data of this radiation, dark matter consists of particles called WIMP (weakly interacting massive particles). The particle has a mass nine times larger than protons.
Researchers also suspect the existence of such a cross section which describes the density of crocheted articles. This finding represents a major step in the effort to uncover the mystery veil of dark matter.

LIVING WITH arsenic
Because of the National Space Development Agency and the U.S. (NASA) plans to hold a scientific conference entitled "Discussion of Findings Astrobiologi to Uncover Life in Outer Earth", speculation was rampant.
Most observers of science and journalists suspected of NASA researchers have been tracking aliens residing in one of Saturn's moon Titan, which isis able to live in conditions of full environmental toxic gas .
In reality, not a mistaken seheboh. Researchers claim only find microbes on Earth that eat arsenic. The creature was later called GFAJ-1.
He can transform the poison into his DNA. This behavior proves that living things could survive in any conditions than previously imagined.
Furthermore, these findings open opportunities for the search for signs of extraterrestrial life. Doubts arise from other researchers related the truth of beings who can live with arsenic. Proof ought anticipated, as well as claims of life on Martian meteorite ALH 84001.

SUN 'woke up'
Scientists have dubbed the phenomenon as a tsunami Sun. Around August, the Sun experienced extraordinary events. A series of large explosions on the surface of the star closest to Earth's.
The energy boom across the sky throughout the 93 million miles. The explosion produces auroras in the sky. This is a cycle that will end 11 years old, marked by ups and downs of the level of electromagnetic waves, bursts of fire, and light.
There is concern, the impact of the explosion can damage communications satellites orbiting the Earth. No doubt, the Sun is in the most active period. He seemed to wake from sleep.

ASTEROID DUST SAMPLES
Japanese Spacecraft, Hayabusha, took home a special gift for the science world. Exploration success to bring asteroid samples of dust taken from the source directly.
Dust originating from the surface of asteroid Itokawa, a distance of 2 billion miles from Earth. Hayabusah which means eagle, traveling for 7 years to get to the asteroid.
Samples were taken directly by the spacecraft. Not easy to land on Itokawa. For the second new experiment successfully completed mission.
Hayabusha arrived back to Earth on 13 June. He at least brought as many as 1,500 asteroids that dust grains are very important to the field of science and knowledge.

Twinning PLANET EARTH
The long-awaited news that comes in September. An Earth-like planets are believed to exist in space. He is no longer merely an illusion or a dream. Almost all of them identical, even in size as Earth. The planet is named Gliese 581g ..
The findings were revealed by astronomers from the University of California Santa Cruz. Steven Vogt, a member of the team, said, there are conditions that support for the presence of water there. Therefore Vogt believes humans could live and settle. However, several other astronomers cautioned that this finding is still too early.

1000 People Attend Conference on World Hacker

Although active in the virtual world arena, but when held get-togethers, hackers still do it off-line in the real world. In fact, the event titled Hactivity 2010 was crowded by about 1000 people.

This event itself was held in Budapest, Hungary on Saturday (09/18/2010) local time for two days. Hopefully, this event is more than just event-kongkow kongkow for its world-class hackers.

But also can be a means of sharing knowledge, information, and train a new stance-stance in the world sphere of internet security systems, computers and networks.

Bruce Scheier, a leading cyber security expert didapuk be an opening ceremony. Other world-class IT activists who helped plunge was Alexander Kornbrust of Oracle, who brought the name Robert Lipovsky ESET, and hackers from the United States Mitch Altman.

Although the title of the congress, but Hacktivity 2010 also provides casual event, namely games. Still, organizers put up a game not far from the action peretasan. Look at the title game provided, 'Hack the Vendor'. Thus dkutip detikINET from AFP, Sunday (09/19/2010).

Pornography is banned in Microsoft Windows Phone 7

Microsoft Windows Phone 7

Apple just seems to not only the anti-porn content. Microsoft is now doing the same thing, they do not want the Windows operating system Phone 7 (WP7) contaminated things smelled obscene.

The software giant has issued specific guidelines for developers who want to create a program in a platform WP7. In essence, the developers asked to remain 'clean' and wherever possible avoid the elements of violence and sex.

In penjelasannnya, Microsoft forbids showing the pictures that are sexually provocative. Images showing the sensitive parts of human bodies are prohibited from appearing in the application.

Violent content is also forbidden, for example, graphics that are too bloody. In addition, as reported and quoted TechRadar, Saturday (18/09/2010), content that contains violence toward animals is not allowed.

Microsoft warned that, if developers ngeyel and keep creating content with the forbidden elements, Microsoft threatened to refuse.

Phone OS Windows 7 is now already in a stage of RTM (release to manufacturing) or have been released to manufacturing Microsoft partners. Possibly, the latest OS-based mobile phone will be launched in October.

a brief history of female robots: from maria to E.M.A.

science fiction has always played a role in contemplating the future and allowing us to stretch our imaginations.

the idea of robots has long been around, but the introduction of the female robot was something that came

about during the 1920's. often used in hollywood as a seductress, the fembot has been making her way from

sci-fi fantasy screenplay to the real-life. fembots have been designed as a sex dolls, receptioinsts even

a police chief. the following pages are a timeline of female robots in history, from fritz lang's destructive maria

to the affectionate E.M.A.(eternal maiden actulization).

HRP4C, The Japanese Female Robot

Japan - Scientists in Tsukuba City, Japan, recently, introduced a certain kind of robot with a female face . The robot is able to blink the eyes and make a voice. 30 machine devices installed in the body and eight on the face, that makes the robot can express anger or shock.
Although the movement of this robot is not like a real female yet, the ability of this HRP4C robot series had make the citizens to be amazed enough and plume the creator as well. At least, this female robot is more perfect than other certain kind of robots that been made. Scientists also believe this robot will be the protipe in the future.

The destruction of the Earth on 2013 by NASA's Prediction

Often we hear about the story of the end times and the destruction of the earth. Starting from a collision between a meteor with the earth, or the Sun will lose the force of gravity. But that may only speculations that were raised by a number of people who may not necessarily justified.
But now, the United States Space Agency (NASA) proposed that the Earth will experience a collapse in 2013. The cause of the destruction of the earth is a solar storm that will hit the earth next three years.
NASA Scientists believe the Earth will be hit by the magnetic energy from the Sun flares in an unknown level. The sun will be 'turbulent'. Thus was launched Asylum, Tuesday (06/15/2010).
"We know this will come but we do not know how big the impact will be generated from the incident," said Dr. Richard Fisher, head of NASA's Heliophysics Division.
Most likely the impact will be generated from the solar storm is the loss of damage to power lines and communication networks in several countries like England. In addition, solar storms can damage the whole system of emergency services, hospital equipment, banking systems and air traffic control device, until the goods everyday like computers and iPods.
"Such systems will not work because of changes in the earth's magnetic storms caused by the sun," said Fisher.
As is known, the solar storm or a CME (Corona Mass Ejection) the sun did not cause the end of the world, but still have an impact on astronomical objects in the vicinity. Solar storm indirect impact on humans, such as radio signals, causing disruption of communication networks to be broken, ugly, or not working.
Solar storm that led to the earth not only disrupt satellites in orbit the earth who are troubled. When the sun blasts leads to the earth, high-energy particles that come flying infiltrate into the earth following the direction of the magnetic field of the earth's north pole and spreads into the atmosphere.

Space Shuttle 100th Finally Glide

A spacecraft called the Soyuz TMA-19 finally successfully launched into the international space station (ISS).
Special, the plane is a spaceship to-100 a successful take-off into space. Soyuz TMA-19 that orbit last Tuesday, taking three crew members.
Quoted by Reuters on Thursday (17/06/2010) three crew members were from the United States astronaut Douglas Wheelock and Shannon Walker and Russian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin.
Soyuz TMA-19 is a joint project that has swallowed up the funds of USD100 billion. In the launch, the aircraft was choosing Baikonur Cosmodrome, in Kazakhstan as a place to take off.
"I like this mission would soon pass, but there was little sense of concern as well," said Douglas Wheelock, schoo an astronaut who took part in this mission.
Soyuz TMA-19 spacecraft will be in the long term. Because, there are some missions that should they finish.

Archaeologists Find City Avaris Aged 3600 Years

Austrian archaeologist claims to have found the city Avaris. The old city which became the capital of the Hyksos rulers of Egypt at the time were found in the Tel al-Dabaa region, northeast of Egypt.
According to the Secretary General of Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, Zahi Hawaas, say, the discovery of the town Avaris is performed using high-tech radar. Displayed picture also shows a sketch of the city layout, complete with streets, buildings and temples.
Meanwhile, the head of the Austrian team eskavasi, Irene Mueller said the work of archaeological geophysical surveys undertaken by the team has helped them to identify one child who passed the river Nile Avaris city. Similarly told IOL, Monday (06/21/2010).
Avaris City is a city known during the Hyksos dynasty of Egypt led by approximately 1664-1569 years BC. Hyksos known in the second period of ancient Egypt. Avaris became the administrative capital of the dynasty into the 12th and 13th Egyptian. The city was built over the ruins of the city that had captured the Hyksos Rowarty. After the occupation, the Hyksos defend this city and ruled the country with new technology.

Sitting Too Long Bad for Your Health

Spending time sitting in front of the TV or in front of the monitor screen is considered bad for health and weight person. The reason, one's physical movements will decrease and make a number of body muscles do not work optimally.
"Now, new research shows that watching television is not only just but sitting for long might be the enemy of your health. The reason? Will increasingly berurang muscle movement," said Elin E Bak from the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences, as reported by Softpedia, Wednesday ( 23/06/2010).
Elin is said, lack of muscle movement is closely related to the risk of obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Sit back, Elin said the same thing by disabling muscle. "Activities of everyday life, such as choosing the stairs instead of the elevator ride, park far from the mall, walking to the store instead of driving, can make a difference to your health. Because of these positive ways involving movement of muscles," he said.
Previous studies, further Elin also showed that the pressure stress can actually help burn calories. However, it is quite small to burn calories, while also adversely affecting the psychological health.
