Reflections of a Balik-Scientist - STAR SCIENCE By Francis L. de los Reyes III, Ph.D.

The DOST Balik-Scientist Program (BSP) has been revived in recent years, with increasing participation from scientists based abroad. Thanks to the work of Secretary Estrella Alabastro and Assistant Secretary Malou Orijola for an increased budget, and the untiring efforts of Philippine-American Academy of Scientists and Engineers (PAASE) members like Dr. Giselle Concepcion, more scientists are returning and sharing their expertise with Philippine universities, agencies, and organizations. This past July, I was fortunate to return to the

Asteroid anniversary recalls Earth's rocky history

Summertime — a time for sunny days, beach weekends and of course, leisurely reflections on the end of the world and the monster asteroids that could smack into us. The centennial anniversary of the last big impact, the 1908 Tunguska blast that rocked Siberia, falls Monday, June 30, bringing with it a reminder of the very slight chance that a hunk of space rock out there might have Earth's number.

Luxell gets OLED display, reduced reflection patent

Luxell Technologies Inc. has now been issued an additional United States patent (No. 7372436). The patent specifically relates to reducing ambient light reflections off of the display face, and provides OLED displays with greater sunlight legibility. The resulting end display will benefit from an increased readability and from reduced production costs, as the use of polarizing filters is no longer required.

Nano-gold doesn't reflect THz radiation

Nanostructured gold films can be used as effective broadband antireflection coatings, say scientists in Germany. Such coatings are crucial in applications where zero reflections are required – in high-precision spectroscopy for example.

GRID: even better graphics

The modding folks from Race Driver: GRID did some nice job in improving the graphics of the game. More realistic colors, better shadows, better reflections. PCGH has the info and the pics.

5 Reasons Not to Upgrade to the New iPhone 3G

I've had my new 3G Apple (AAPL) iPhone for about a month now and I thought I'd take a few minutes to write some of my thoughts and reflections on the experience for people who might be considering upgrading to the new 3G iPhone. First a little background though.

NVIDIA Shows Interactive Ray Tracing On GPUs

MojoKid writes "During SIGGRAPH 2008 in Los Angeles, NVIDIA is demonstrating a fully interactive GPU-based ray tracer. The demo is based purely on NVIDIA GPU technology, and according to NVIDIA the ray tracer shows linear scaling during rendering of a complex, two-million polygon, anti-aliased automotive styling application. The article reproduces screenshots from NVIDIA's demo. At three bounces (rays being traced as they bounce three times through a scene), performance is demonstrated at up to 30fps at HD resolutions of 1920x1080 for an image-based lighting paint shader, ray-traced shadows, reflections and refractions running on four next-generation Quadro GPUs in an NVIDIA Quadro Plex 2100 D4 Visual Computing System."
