Superheating Nanoparticles from PhysOrg.com
“For quite a long time people have been measuring the melting points of small particles,” Shaun Hendy tells PhysOrg.com. “They’ve found that the melting point decreases and this decrease is in inverse proportion to the radius of the particle.” He pauses before continuing. “We have found in this case it doesn’t happen. It’s counterintuitive.”

Nano probe may open new window into cell behavior from PhysOrg.com
To create drugs capable of targeting some of the most devastating human diseases, scientists must first decode exactly how a cell or a group of cells communicates with other cells and reacts to a broad spectrum of complex biomolecules surrounding it.

Novel Nano-etched Cavity Makes LEDs 7 Times Brighter from Science Daily
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) more than seven times brighter by etching nanoscale grooves in a surrounding cavity to guide scattered light in one direction.

Brown Engineers Use DNA to Direct Nanowire Assembly and Growth from PhysOrg.com
A small but growing number of engineers are using nature’s engineer – DNA – to create nanomaterials that can be used in everything from medical devices to computer circuits. A team from Brown University and Boston College is the first to use DNA to direct construction and growth of complex nanowires. Their work appears in Nanotechnology.

News
I've been very quiet recently as I've been in the process of changing jobs.
I will now be working at Contourphotos.
This will rocket me far over the poverty line, which is a nice place to be again.
Hopefully I'll be able to add more to this blog soon as I will be sleeping human hours once again.
Next up portraits of Deadwood characters, a sneak preveiw of my new project "Agent 149 is a Zer0!" and who knows what else.
P.S. found this tid-bit from Brian Lee O'Malley's live-journel it's his words of advice for comic makers.

I'm not too old, they're not too loud!
Last night I went to what should have been the loudest concert I've ever gone to, but the levels were just right. I saw Lightning Bolt and The Boredoms at Webster Hall Sunday night and it was in all honesty the best show I've ever been in attendance of. Lightning Bolt played out on the floor in sea of sweat and humanity.
Chippendale was smashing away at the drums like a shark on a line while Gibson calmly stood back and bust out the licks on banjo and bass strings. At the point It seemed like the greatest feet of endurance as the went from song to song seamlessly at a breakneck pace, that is till the Boredoms came out on stage.
Yamatsuka eYe walked on stage with a background of faux stars and in his hands were what I like to call Van De Graph marracai. They were two orbs which when shook, placed close together, or moved at rapid speed would light up and emit a wave-like white noise. Then the lights got brighter and I notice their were not two drum sets but three drum sets in a circle. The sound could only be described by imagining the Muppet show House band if it consisted of three Animals trained as taiko drummers led by a dreaded Doctor Teeth possessed by a thousand demons from the land of wind and ghost. Yamasuka spent the rest of the show either behind a stack of synths manning the modulation and volume wheels like a epileptic mission control spaz and jumping in and of the circle of drums screaming, crooning, and going in and out of trance. After 20+ minutes of steady drumming the female drummer turned around and proceeded to recite every oh and ah from Ella Fitzgerald songbook, then went back to drumming the spun around and played keyboards, wha?!?!?! If I can put my had around what I heard and saw any better I'll post it later this week.
