Mars' atmosphere thinning but still active - 0 views

  •  
    The loss rate of Mars' original atmosphere apparently has been quantified through isotope ratio measurements. Should be useful for climate engineering studies (Isabelle & Markus ?)

A New Class of Faint Supernova - 0 views

  •  
    The type is much weaker than normal supernovas and seems to have a new mechanism underlying it.

Study Demonstrates Great Potential of Nanowire-Based Solar Cells - 0 views

  •  
    Scientists from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institut, Denmark and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland, have shown that a single nanowire can concentrate the sunlight up to 15 times of the normal sun light intensity. The results are surprising and the potential for developing a new type of highly efficient solar cells is great.

Tiny Quantum Refrigerator Has Super Cooling Power - 0 views

  •  
    Solid state tunnel junction can cool "payload" to sub-Kelvin temperatures. This would be much more convenient than for example helium3-helium4 mixing. Proposed use for cooling sensors on spacecraft - could extend lifetime of satellites like ESA's about to switched off Herschel almost indefinitely.

Neural network speech recognition - 4 views

  •  
    On Android speech recognition but also with a very nice video: direct translation of English voice input to Chinese audio. Looks like it might be really useful eventually.

New Supergel Has Strange Biological Properties - 0 views

  •  
    Linked to the discussion we had last week on elastically non-linear polymers. The inverted liquid->solid phase transition might be interesting and the material might be self-healing just above the transition.
