New Form of Graphene Should Finally Make Graphene Electronics Possible

New Form of Graphene Should Finally Make Graphene Electronics Possible | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From gizmodo.com - February 6, 2014 5:52 PM

For years, scientists have struggled to build graphene-based electronics that could do the same thing as silicon superconductor chips. A new breakthrough from an international team of scientists might just change all that. These geniuses just invented a new form of graphene that's ten times more conductive.

The trick to this new form of graphene is that it allows electrons to act like photons. The impressive material is simply nanoribbons of epitaxial graphene—that's the honeycomb arrangement of carbon atoms you're used to seeing to illustrate graphene—that's manufactured using a relatively simple process.


The scientists grew the nanoribbons on silicone carbide wafers in which they had etched circuit patterns using standard microelectronics techniques. The silicone was then heated to about 1,000º Celsius, melting the silicone off and leaving these novel graphene nanoribbons with perfectly smooth edges. The graphene forms spontaneously on the etched edges of the silicon.

Wearables with augmented reality are mind-blowing -- and an ethical nightmare

Wearables with augmented reality are mind-blowing -- and an ethical nightmare | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From ces.cnet.com - January 10, 2014 7:09 PM
A panel of industry experts at CES 2014 discusses the ethical quandaries and shared responsibilities with the augmented reality and head-mounted wearables that will change our lives as dramatically as the smartphone.

 

Because it doesn't stop with cameras you can't see. Wearable tech and the AR software that powers it will surface far-reaching issues, all of which will be hitting court rooms, policy discussions, and dinner table conversations regarding what's appropriate to use in public, safe to use while driving, and mentally healthy to engage in day to day.

Why cybercriminals want your personal data

Why cybercriminals want your personal data | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - November 12, 2013 10:06 AM
Over the past few years, the personal data theft landscape has changed as online behaviors and activities evolve.

 

To better understand this crime, it helps to understand what personal data is worth to an identity thief. The average identity thief doesn’t steal data to use for him or herself. In most cases, they take the personal information and sell it on the online black market. It can be surprising what an individual’s personal information is worth.

Based off of what we’ve seen at CSID, a credit card number, name and date of birth can sell for $13. A Social Security Number can go for $20. A bank account with a balance of $10,000 goes for an average cost of $625. Even the value of a person’s social media account has worth. According to RSA, 10,000 followers on Twitter sell for $15. 1,000 likes on Facebook sell for $15.

Study: Most radiologists don’t notice a gorilla in a CT scan

Study: Most radiologists don’t notice a gorilla in a CT scan | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From www.washingtonpost.com - October 6, 2013 4:59 PM
Researchers added a dancing, waving gorilla to a standard CT scan of the lungs. Most radiologists totally missed it.

 

Most radiologists, however, did not see him. When asked "Did you see a gorilla on the final trial?" 20 of the 24 radiologists tested said they did not. It wasn't for lack of looking.


As the researchers write, in a forthcoming paper in Psychological Science, "eye-tracking revealed that, of the 20 radiologists who did not report the gorilla, 12 looked directly at the gorilla’s location when it was visible."

Gust MEES: This is a SHAME and lack of RESPONSIBILITY as a 6cm TUMOR was ALSO ONLY found after I asked and insisted for a SCINTIGRAPHY!!! ONLY after that SCINTIGRAPHY they analysed again the scans (there were 3!!!) and discovered the tumor!!!

From openeducationeuropa.eu - January 10, 2014 7:27 AM

“Education is a kind of dynamic movement where improvements are based on the specific ability and competences of teachers. Turning our classical liceo into a modern liceo, using instruments to improve innovation and teaching, is our main goal. […] Our students go from absorbing lessons like a sponge into actors that play a real role in a cooperative technologically-supported class.”

This article effected me in the way of how I learn best. I am an audible learner but i also like to have a hard book to flip the pages of and look back on, instead of having to switch screens . Part of me has an aversion to reading long articles/stories/content online because in a textbook, i can use post-it notes, fold over pages, and flip back and forth easily. It is great that they are trying to make everything uniform with teachers and students, but not everyone learns the same or enjoys staring at a screen for countless hours in order to finish their homework. The internet is also a huge distraction.

NSA Reportedly Broke Privacy Rules Thousands Of Times Per Year

NSA Reportedly Broke Privacy Rules Thousands Of Times Per Year | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From www.huffingtonpost.com - August 15, 2013 10:18 PM
WASHINGTON -- The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

 

Most of the infractions involve unauthorized surveillance of Americans or foreign intelligence targets in the United States, both of which are restricted by law and executive order.


They range from significant violations of law to typographical errors that resulted in unintended interception of U.S. emails and telephone calls, the Post said, citing an internal audit and other top-secret documents provided it earlier this summer from NSA leaker Edward Snowden, a former systems analyst with the agency.

Who says you need millions for a supercomputer? Not Adapteva, which has started shipping its $99 Parallella single-board parallel processing board.
Gust MEES's insight:

 

Linux is the top supercomputer operating system. But while you can build your own Linux supercomputer using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, even with just Raspberry Pi boards,  these don't natively support massively parallel computing — the cornerstone of modern supercomputing. That's where Adapteva, with its $99 Parallella parallel processing single-board supercomputer, comes in.

Don't Confuse Technology With Teaching

Don't Confuse Technology With Teaching | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
From chronicle.com - May 28, 2013 4:36 PM
Though universities are rushing to embrace online courses, true education requires one mind engaging with another.

 

Educators are coaches, personal trainers in intellectual fitness. The value we add to the media extravaganza is like the value the trainer adds to the gym or the coach adds to the equipment. We provide individualized instruction in how to evaluate and make use of information and ideas, teaching people how to think for themselves.

 

Just as coaching requires individual attention, education, at its core, requires one mind engaging with another, in real time: listening, understanding, correcting, modeling, suggesting, prodding, denying, affirming, and critiquing thoughts and their expression.
