The first year of the grant is for $400,000, with two more optional years following, for a total award of $1.2 million. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35148.html Technology news Fri, 04 Mar 2005 19:03:14 -0800 Livermore scientists are working to solve a 50-year-old question: Can neutrinos – a particle that is relatively massless, has no electric charge yet is fundamental to the make-up of the universe – transform from one type to another? 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35153.html Technology news Mon, 07 Mar 2005 08:03:58 -0800 The first superconducting magnet for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was lowered into the accelerator tunnel at 2.00 p.m. on Monday, 7th March. This is the first of the 1232 dipole magnets for the future collider, which measures 27 km in circumference and is scheduled to be commissioned in 2007. The date was thus a key one for CERN1 since the delivery of the 15 metre long dipole magnet weighing 35 tonnes to its final location marks the start of LHC installation. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35160.html Technology news Fri, 11 Mar 2005 14:03:45 -0800 Can a robot learn to navigate like a cockroach? To help researchers find out if a mechanical device can mimic the pesky insect's behavior, a Johns Hopkins engineering student has built a flexible, sensor-laden antenna. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35161.html Technology news Wed, 16 Mar 2005 18:03:29 -0800 Taking a new approach to the painstaking assembly of nanometer-sized machines, a team of scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has successfully used single bacterial cells to make tiny bio-electronic circuits. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35162.html Technology news Thu, 17 Mar 2005 08:03:53 -0800 If data drove itself around in cars, photonics would be a roomy minivan and electronics would be a nimble coupe. Photonic components such as fiber optic cables can carry a lot of data but are bulky compared to electronic circuits. Electronic components such as wires and transistors carry less data but can be incredibly small. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35163.html Technology news Thu, 17 Mar 2005 17:03:58 -0800 Sunlight splitting water molecules to produce hydrogen using devices too small to be seen in a standard microscope. Thats a goal of a research team from the National Nuclear Security Administrations Sandia National Laboratories. The research has captured the interest of chemists around the world pursuing methods of producing hydrogen from water. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35166.html Technology news Sat, 19 Mar 2005 08:03:44 -0800 A full-scale quantum computer could produce reliable results even if its components performed no better than todays best first-generation prototypes, according to a paper by a scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the March 3 issue of the journal Nature*. 0 http://hypography.com/news/technology/35168.html Technology news Tue, 22 Mar 2005 10:03:21 -0800 A virtually unstoppable "snakebot" developed by a University of Michigan team that resembles a high-tech slinky as it climbs pipes and stairs, rolls over rough terrain and spans wide gaps to reach the other side. 0 Hypography - Science for everyone
