Future Computer Chips Could Be Cooled With Nanofluid from PhysOrg.com

“This is the next generation of cooling devices,” Dr. Hongbin Ma tells PhysOrg.com. With a group of students at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and colleagues at Argonne National Laboratory and Intel Corporation, Ma presents the findings of a unique cooling device that makes use of an Oscillating Heat Pipe (OHP) and nanofluids. The findings, published online at Applied Physics Letters on April 5^th, present a breakthrough that will provide a way for cooling technology to keep pace with developments in electronic technology.

Dual Properties of Carbon Nanotubes Revealed from PhysOrg.com

For the first time, researchers have directly measured the electronic structure of individual carbon nanotubes whose physical properties had already been determined. This new study, pioneered by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory working with their colleagues at Columbia University, may help scientists determine the usefulness of carbon nanotubes in various applications, from microelectronics to mechanical, thermal, and photovoltaic devices.

Adding water to nanowires could create computer memory devices capable of storing 10 million times more information in the same physical space as existing drives.

Researchers at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania, both in Philadelphia, and Harvard University in Massachusetts, US, discovered that water turns barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanowires into a potential form of computer memory [...]

Curiosity about pre-Pere Ubu music lead me to Rocket from the Tomb

and that lead me to the Deadboys.


I know the Rockets album is a reunion album and not the band in it's prime, so what?

Schedule

Because they are only made to be broken.
draw and ink 10 pages a week (one day of work).
Paint 5 of those pages a week. (one a day M-F).
have 10 page b+w ashcan for mocca.
finish 80 watercoloredpages and print out 80 page collection.
After that is done work on opus 100 pages b+w.
yeah right!

O.K. I watch all 14 episodes of Spaced. It was funny! Funnier than any other T.V. I've seen in a while, probably since the original Office which is actually younger.

Good news!
Iggy Pop, the Asheton Brothers, and Mike Watt are busy recording the first "Stooges" album since 1973!
As for me, I'm finding myself watching alot of Tom Baker Era "Doctor Who" it's still the shizzal (or is that shizzale).

Nanofibers created in orderly fashion from PhysOrg.com

For 72 years, scientists have been able to use electric fields to spin polymers into tiny fibers. But there's been just one problem: Like worms that won't stop wriggling, the fibers tangle randomly almost as soon as they are created.

Nanogenerators May Spark Miniature Machines (Update) from PhysOrg.com

Researchers have developed a new technique for powering nanometer-scale devices without the need for bulky energy sources such as batteries. By converting mechanical energy from body movement, muscle stretching or water flow into electricity, these "nanogenerators" could make possible a new class of self-powered implantable medical devices, sensors and portable electronics.

Joey - Hey, I'm really dumb.

An infinite thanks to Chris, Carrie, and Dot for meeting Marco, Justin, and me in San Francisco from Dan Diego and Oakland (respectively). Once again it was great to see *** Xeric Award Winner *** Rob Sato and Ako who were our neighbors to the left last year, in fact we were located at that very table in a surprise move by the A.P.E. table relocation program. Once again we were blessed with great neighbors such as Sour Milk Sea Comics, Short Pants Press, Fishchild Studio, and Superartboxpensqueek.
From a trend of last year I decided to bring some kraftwork to this years A.P.E. but it seemed that so did everyone else. So there was no fun, fun, fun on the Audubon for me. Here are, in fact, my top buyers...

Eric and Carrie.

I have to admit I didn't buy much in the way of books but I did make an awesome trade with Shana Manion who brought to the convention her 24-hour book "Ask Miss Anthropy" and her T-shirt designs.
I'm gonna end this here as my mind and eyes hurt!

A.P.E. (in three posts)

Part one

Fly me to the moon.
The flight was delayed do to inclement weather in middle America, not much of a big deal.
I spent the flight working the magicks, or will-working, or psychological readjusting myself (whichever you prefer.)
Now my fear of the Future is spread throughout San Francisco which in itself reflects all those said fears.
My infatuation with San Francisco is gone, I hoped it would as this trip was planned as a goodbye.
Soon I will know no one there (Eric get out while you can) and my desire to attend A.P.E. pales in my enthusiasm for M.O.C.C.A.
A quick thank you to Eric,
thanks.


A veiw from the Mission.

Well I'm off to the Alternative Press Expo in 20 hours.
Wish me luck!

Device Only Atoms Across May Allow Infinitesimal But Powerful Computers.

Using the power of modern computing combined with innovative theoretical tools, an international team of researchers has determined how a one-way electrical valve, or diode, made of only a single molecule does its job.

Diodes are critical components within computer, audio equipment and countless other electronic devices. If designers can swap existing diodes with the single-molecule one, the products could be shrunk to incredibly small sizes.

The technology may allow computer designers to sustain "Moore's Law"--a prediction made by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965--which suggested technological advances will allow a doubling every 18 months in the number of transistors that can fit on a computer chip. But the "law" has been nearing the end of its useful life as ever-shrinking silicon chips approach their physical limits.

Professor Predicts Human Time Travel This Century from PhysOrg.com

With a brilliant idea and equations based on Einstein’s relativity theories, Ronald Mallett from the University of Connecticut has devised an experiment to observe a time traveling neutron in a circulating light beam. While his team still needs funding for the project, Mallett calculates that the possibility of time travel using this method could be verified within a decade.
