Scientists Discover Quantum Mechanical 'Hurricanes' Form Spontaneously

University of Arizona scientists have discovered experimentally that when super-cold gas becomes a Bose-Einstein condensate, it can spontaneously spin up what might be described as quantum mechanical twisters or hurricanes. Full Story

Felix's Machines by Felix Thorn

Felix’s Machines are a series of extraordinary mechanical instruments put together by the artist and musician Felix Thorn in his South London bedroom. The project, which began in 2006, is continuously evolving and will do so throughout and after its time at Gasworks. During the exhibition, musicians and producers will respond to Felix’s Machines in a series of events exploring its musical potential. When connected to a computer, Felix’s Machines translate Thorn’s compositions into mechanical actions performed by customised drums and piano parts and animated by solenoids, springs and motors. In this way, an electronic means of production is transposed into an acoustic output.

Physicists Cue Nanosecond Beat of Nano-Baton

By perfecting a technique to control the vibrations of high frequency nano-cantilevers, Canadian physicists have overcome a roadblock to using nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS) for digital logic and memory applications and have, taken the first sub-nanosecond mechanical measurements of NEMS.

Robodoc: Surgeon Of The Future In Theaters Now

A mechanical snake that can enter the body through natural orifices -- not an incision -- to perform operations is just one futuristic device researchers believe will transform traditional surgical techniques.

Robodoc: Surgeon of the future in theaters now

A mechanical snake that can enter the body through natural orifices to perform operations is just one futuristic device researchers believe will transform traditional surgical techniques. With a world recession looming and healthcare budgets under pressure, it may seem an odd time to talk about hi-tech surgery: The average selling price of the market-leading da Vinci system from California's Intuitive Surgical Inc is $1.35 million. Some critics have questioned the cost-effectiveness of robots when other treatments, such as cancer drugs, are being rationed. But proponents note prices will inevitably fall as usage and competition increase.

How did the GPL mess develop in Berbice?

GPL blamed mechanical failure for the blackouts in Demerara and Berbice, supported by Prime Minister Sam Hinds who is always easy to convince of anything. We have to ask some questions. Are there machines in Berbice that were down long before this crisis? Why didn’t they repair them? Is there a machine at Onverwagt that was out for several months and only now they have ordered parts to bring it back into operation?  Did they overhaul the big machine at Canefield in a way which its makers or any self-respecting technical man would not regard as an overhaul? I am talking about replacing major parts on selected days and the machine going back into operation after every replacement. If this went on over several months before finishing then no wonder the machine never performed like an overhauled engine and it is now limping.
