The spectrum of robots' abilities is like a wide rainbow made up of countless vibrant colors. This rainbow is stretching its way to a pot of gold, as exciting new robots are constantly being developed. Even people who are knowledgeable about robots wouldn't expect to see robots dancing in rhythm to the hot Korean pop song "Tell Me." This is just the scene that greeted attendees at the opening ceremony of Robot World 2008 at COEX on October 16.

Ohio State University chemists and their colleagues combined electrically conductive plastic with metals, including molybdenum and titanium, to create the hybrid material. Full Story

Greenpeace Green Scorecard: Nokia Wins, Apple Fails, Nintendo Crashes Again

Those rainbow warriors/whiners/heroes/charlatans (pick whatever makes you tick) from Greenpeace have released their new Guide to Greener Electronics. There have been plenty of changes compared to last year, with many manufacturers going up, but others going down. Nokia is now at the top, near the 7 over 10 mark, but Nintendo keeps crashing at 1 over 10. What about Greenpeace's archenemy Apple? Despite their latest efforts, it keeps failing ad drops to the 14th position. It seems they are not impressed by Apple's latest green ads:

Where do you get your design ideas?

Web designers too often get all their ideas from other Web designers. I mean think about it, how many times did you see the rainbow horizontal rule line when Web pages first came out? Or now, the ever popular rounded corners on boxes? But while it would be nice to have a box of design ideas that come from everywhere, the Web is what we build and what we do, and sometimes it's nice to just see some ideas of how other people have built their Web sites.

REVIEW | Hack Attack: Darren Lynn Bousman's "Repo! The Genetic Opera"

A helpful shortcut for negotiating the heaps of texts in this modern world: all attempts to give something familiar or antique a self-consciously edgy, gritty makeover can be, de facto, written off as terrible. Reassuring American songbook standards ("Over the Rainbow," "What a Wonderful World," etc.) performed in breakneck pop-punk style? Terrible. Movies set in centuries past where actual rules of comport are ignored and everyone acts like frisky undergraduates with ruffled collars? Terrible. Steampunk? Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Listening to hot quantum dots adds to nanotherapeutic toolbox

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Quantum dots are emerging as an important class of nanoparticles with applications ranging from medicine to energy. These nanocrystals possess size tunable optical and electronic properties resulting from quantum confinement which allow them to be suitable candidates for applications in solar cells and light emitting devices. For instance, quantum dots have been identified as important light harvesting material for building highly efficient solar cells – when exposed to light at certain wavelengths they can generate free electrons and create an electrical current (see: Catching a rainbow - quantum dot nanotechnology brightens the prospects for solar energy). Having a high resistance to photobleaching, quantum dots (QDs) also are attractive materials for optoelectronics and in vivo biosensing (see: Live cell imaging
