Interesting launch, not just the first Japanese Venus [0] mission, also an interplanetary university mission [1] and also a solar sail mission [2]. Looks very interesting ...

This seems to be the Swiss company's website: http://www.meteo-systems.com

Might be worth looking at for our project on evolution of gaits at different gravity level

An open-source project to replace mendeley Anyone motivated to try it ?

According to the company's wikipedia page, the computer costs $ 10 million. Can we then declare Quantum Computing has officially arrived?! quotes from elsewhere in the site: "first commercial quantum computing system on the market"; "our current superconducting 128-qubit processor chip is housed inside a cryogenics system within a 10 square meter shielded room" Link to the company's scientific publications. Interestingly, this company seems to have been running a BOINC project, AQUA@home, to "predict the performance of superconducting adiabatic quantum computers on a variety of hard problems arising in fields ranging from materials science to machine learning. AQUA@home uses Internet-connected computers to help design and analyze quantum computing algorithms, using Quantum Monte Carlo techniques". List of papers coming out of it.

"We have demonstrated resonant antenna-enhanced single-particle hydrogen sensing in the visible region and presented a fabrication approach to the positioning of a single palladium nanoparticle in the nanofocus of a gold nanoantenna,"

I just can't see how their way of finding non-state funding for a 100 year project could work but would be happy to be surprised positively ...

"The mind reader is Gerwin Schalk, a 39-year-old biomedical scientist and a leading expert on brain-computer interfaces at the New York State Department of Health's Wads­worth Center at Albany Medical College. The 28Austrian-born Schalk, along with a handful of other researchers, is part of a $6.3 million U.S. Army project to establish the basic science required to build a thought helmet-a device that can detect and transmit the unspoken speech of soldiers, allowing them to communicate with one another silently." ...

Some juicy sound bites from the former Google CIO.

very nice selection of projects by NIAC!! there are at least some who have European partners as it looks like ... lets still see if we can get involved ...

Interesting. Is it NASA's equivalent of ESA's GSP?

It is a good thing NIAC is alive again. Wie, Bong -> "Optimal Dispersion of Near-Earth Objects" . I wonder what it is?

blablabla

Cell Press and Elsevier have launched a project called Article of the Future that is an ongoing collaboration with the scientific community to redefine how the scientific article is presented online....

well - none of the two examples that they have given show much imagination - don't think that any of these will be better than just using the full screen pdf, my preferred way after printing and reading on paper ... btw: Kevin: are you still around? could we meet?

list of newly selected innovation projects by NASA; contains some topics at least interesting from the title and some that we have worked on! anybody interested in making a quick read and analysis of these? (though last time we did not get much feedback on our report)

this is the project I was referring to in my topic post ...

have not looked at them yet but the tiltle sounded intriguing ...

why financial planning of big projects fail (http://www.heise.de/tr/artikel/101614/0/0)

Intersting 4 years UK joint project on abserving for 4 years the behavior of robots that are programmed to imitate each other somehow. kind of mirror neurons? who knows..

nice software project - and unfortunately needed in many countries ...

The ambition of this forum is to create a network, from where ideas and insights can be shared and projects/collaboration can be raised.

New YGT project, Grub and Lucene for ESA.
