Decode the Walls with the Dead Space Cipher

Kotaku: Readers Steven K., Eamon and Chris A. send this one in late, a screenshot from Chapter 6 in Dead Space that will help the rest of us decode what the alien scribblings on the walls mean.

Researchers Turn Tables and Walls Into "Scratch Input" Surfaces

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University's HCI Institute have developed a new input technology that allows mobile devices to use surfaces they rest on, like tables, for gestural finger input. This is achieved with some clever acoustic tricks — basically taking advantage of high frequency sound propagation through dense materials. Their video highlights some neat applications, such as controlling an MP3 player by scratching on a wall and muting a cell phone by scratching on a table. Further details are available in the academic paper (PDF)."

New View Inside Bacteria Could Improve Health

Bacterial cell walls protect cells against mechanical stress and help maintain cell shape. The stress-bearing layer of the cell wall is called the sacculus (green layer) and is built from peptidoglycan. In Gram-negative cells, the sacculus is sandwiched between the outer (dark gray) and inner membranes (light gray). Electron cryotomographic analysis of purified sacculi showed that peptidoglycan is arranged as a "disorganized layer." Credit: Everett Kane and Ariane Briegel.

In reality though, this was the scene at a robot exhibition held on Wednesday at a conference in the central coastal town.
