Nanotube sheets pave way for future flat speakers

A Chinese research team has moved a step closer to realising flat speakers that will be much cheaper than the existing ones, for they have found that sheets made of carbon nanotubes behave like a loudspeaker when zapped with a varying electric current.

Secrets from within planets pave way for cleaner energy

Research that has provided a deeper understanding into the centre of planets could also provide the way forward in the world's quest for cleaner energy.

Multi-branched Molecules to Revolutionise Applications in Nanotechnology

European scientists say that emerging nanotechnologies, based on designer molecules with long complex tree-and branch structures, may pave the way for wide ranging applications in disease therapy and novel materials-such as resins, electronic displays, and energy storage.

Cricket in war zone

The International Cricket Council has promised to send vital funds for Afghanistan’s fledgling team after it won a tournament that could pave the way for a 2011 World Cup berth.

Cricket-ICC rewards Afghanistan's winning run with funding

KABUL, Oct 26 (Reuters) - The International Cricket Council has pledged vital funds for Afghanistan's fledgling team after it won a tournament that could pave the way for a 2011 World Cup berth, an official said on Sunday.

S.Korea bank ordered to share investor fund losses

SEOUL, Nov 12 (Reuters) - A South Korean regulator has ordered a domestic bank to cover half of the losses suffered by an investor on a fund it sold due to its failure to explain the product's risks, in a decision that could pave the way for more such cases.

Optical Fiber With a Silicon Core

Roland Piquepaille writes "According to the Optical Society of America, U.S. researchers have been able to create a practical optical fiber with a silicon core. As they were able to use the same commercial methods that are used to develop all-glass fibers, this might pave the way for future silicon fibers as viable alternatives to glass fibers. The scientists note that this should help increase efficiency and decrease power consumption in computers and other systems that integrate photonic and electronic devices. Here is a good summary by the lead researcher: 'In the past, we've needed one structure to process light and another to carry it. With a silicon fiber, for the first time, we have the ability to greatly enhance the functionality in one fiber.

Airbrushed nanotubes detect cancer cells

Scientists in the US have developed a single nanotube field effect array that can detect live, intact breast cancer cells with single-cell selectivity in a drop of fresh human blood. The nanotubes are airbrushed onto a 1 cm × 1 cm chip, which can be configured to provide multiple cell recognition and could pave the way for fast-acting, low-cost hand-held oncometers.

Saturn's Titan Moon Is Electric

The Huygens probe, currently in the orbit of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, has managed to send back enough data for specialists to work with. Although not everything went as expected, upon a thorough analysis, they were able to infer that the atmosphere of Titan shows signs of natural electric activity. As proven by previous experiments, electricity is the spark of life, transforming inorganic compounds into organic, prebiotic molecules, which could pave the way for life to emerge at some point.

The First Marine Life Census Drops in 2010

Some 2,000 scientists worldwide have been working at this census of all marine interactions for the last decade, in an attempt to offer the international scientific community and the general public a thorough insight into how animals and plants interact in the marine ecosystems. The city of Valencia, in Spain, will host the World Conference on Marine Biodiversity, between the 11th and the 15th of November, where some 500 scientists will pave the way for the publishing of the census.

Japanese iPhones Getting TV

Softbank's just stumped-up with this interesting mobile TV add-on for Japanese iPhone users: it's a separate unit with tuner and aerial that retransmits the signal over Wi-fi to the phone. The rechargeable device will give about three hours of TV oggling, and connects to a special iPhone app that'll be distributed free when the device hits the streets in mid December for a suggested price of around $100. Better still, the receiver unit doubles as an iPhone battery top-up when you link it via the dock connector, for double the utility. And just maybe it'll pave the way for similar non-1seg devices this side of the Pacific. [AVWatch]
