    This is a bibliography management system one of my project partners suggested. I (Tobias) am trying it out in the frame of the project. If you do not hear anything from me, it was probabely not sooo successfull...

Chemical Reactions Guide Birds Home - 0 views

  • Turtles, birds, and butterflies can migrate thousands of kilometers--even over vast oceans largely free of landmarks. Scientists suspect that these animals find their way by sensing Earth's magnetic field, yet the exact nature of this internal compass has remained a mystery. Now, researchers believe they have come closer to solving the puzzle: a magnetic-sensing chemical reaction within the eye.

The Cathedral and the Bazaar - 7 views

  •  
    Albeit a bit dated, this is the classical Eric Raymond paper about the self-organizing open source model (the bazaar) compared to the usual closed software development model (the cathedral). Is science today more a bazaar or a cathedral?
  •  
    funny .... this is exactly the book that Franco mentioned during one of the first meetings I had with him on the ACT, our research, how to organise, the potential of new ways of cooperating etc ...

Researchers demonstrate a better way for computers to 'see' (w/ Video) - 1 views

  • Rather than building a single model and seeing how well it could recognize visual objects, the team constructed thousands of candidate models, and screened for those that performed best on an object recognition task

Solar power without solar cells: A hidden magnetic effect of light could make it possible - 2 views

  •  
    still only a few percent of conversion efficiency but very promising since working at reasonably focussing and unpolarised light; they announce the publication of a first design of such a system .... to be followed!! Duncan: you wanna have a closer look at it?
  •  
    99% house advertising, 1% scientific results. I think this is still a conservative guess... And I'm sure this "completely new" effect that you don't see when "staring at the equations of motion" (doggone, how I love this USish "I-am-better-than-the-rest-of-the-world" jargon) certainly has been predicted at least 50 years ago by some smart USSR researcher!!

Transparent material opens a new window on solar energy - physicsworld.com - 4 views

  • Researchers in the US have developed a new kind of organic solar cell that converts a small but significant fraction of the sunlight that falls onto it into electricity, while still allowing most of the visible part of that light to pass through. Thanks to this transparency, the team says that the cell could be mounted onto windows in buildings or cars in order to tap a currently under-exploited source of energy.
