Scale made with a carbon nanotube sensitive enough to register a proton's mass
arstechnica.com
On macroscopic scales, we can use the force of gravity to help us determine mass. But on microscopic scales, other forces typically dominate. Nanoscopic mechanical resonators, which change their vibrational frequency in response to added mass, have allowed us to measure smaller objects, finding the masses of biological cells...
Proton and Yes team up to offer Malaysia's first 4G-connected car, promise more to come
www.engadget.com
The first one may only amount to a MiFi housed in the dash (although that does come standard), but automaker Proton and Malaysian carrier Yes seem to have some fairly grand designs on 4G-connected cars. In addition to providing a WiFi hotpot for passengers, they eventually hope to use...
How can we live to 100? Life Technologies joins the X Prize race to figure out secrets of aging
venturebeat.com
In yet another reminder of the current storm of biotechnological innovation, California-based Life Technologies is the first team to sign up for the $10 million Archon X Prize, a race to sequence 100 entire human genomes for $1,000 or less. The ultimate goal is to create the “world’s first...
