in categoriile: Physics,Science and sport Norwegian ski specialists have developed a four-step process that helps them decide how the skis should be prepared and what will work best. An NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim) researcher says that any mistake in preparation of the base of the ski might lead to a 3 per cent change for the worse. This tiny decrease in performance can make the difference whether an athlete wins a medal or not at high level competitions such as Winter Olympic games in Vancouver.

in categoriile: Physics,Personalia,Materials science,Science and religion,Technology One of the Dead Sea Scrolls was created in the area in which it was found. That is the conclusion following a recent research made by experts from Italy’s National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). The result was announced by Professor Giuseppe Pappalardo at the 12th International Conference on Particle Induced X-Ray Emission and its Analytical Applications (PIXE) in Surrey, UK. This finding was made possible by the combined use of a new system of analysis patented by the INFN National Laboratories of the South, and a particle accelerator located at the same facility.

in categoriile: Physics,Mathematics,Technology,Technology transfer Digital technology has transformed the production and post production of all types of film - particularly feature films - as well as creating a whole new viewing experience. All these were possible thanks to software products that in essence are based on breakthroughs in a European Eureka project finished in 1998.

in categoriile: Biology,Physics,Medicine,Technology The computer mouse and keyboard will be as useful for operating a computer as much as currently diskettes are useful for storing data. That's because we will be able to control computers with simple thoughts. At least that is what suggests a research at Rowan University in the USA.

in categoriile: Agriculture,Biology,Chemistry,Physics,Medicine,Environment,Personalia,Technology French researchers at CNRS Paul Pascal Research Center in Bordeaux have designed smart capsules that are able to release their contents on demand, simply by raising the temperature. This novel system opens up the way to many applications in a large number of fields such as food, perfumes and agriculture, for instance to deliver pesticides above a specific temperature.
