From the page: "Um selbst organisierte Sensornetzwerke zu betreiben, bedarf es natürlich auch einer Mikro-Stromquelle â€" aber auch dieser Front gibt es zwei bemerkenswerte Fortschritte: Ein Forscherteam an der University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) arbeitet derzeit an Nanodrähten, die mechanische Energie in Elektrizität umwandeln können. Frühere Experimente setzten dabei auf das Ausgangsmaterial Zinkoxid. Der UIUC-Nanogenerator wird hingegen aus Bariumtitanat aufgebaut."

Web2.0 compared

From the page: "Little Ben ist rundum mit Videokameras und insgesamt 64 Sensoren bestückt. Mehrere Mac Minis berechnen Navigation und Steuerung. Anschaffung und Ausrüstung des Fahrzeugs sollen 250.000 US-Dollar gekostet haben. Hauptsponsor ist der Luftfahrtkonzern Lockheed Martin, der auch mehrere Mitarbeiter des Team stellt.

FPGA VHDL & Verilog Lab

From the page: "This ainâ€t entirely bonkers and hereâ€s why. Bars Mars has calculated what itâ€s like to be an observer in a universe that is about to flip and get this: it would look as if it were expanding and accelerating away from us. Sound familiar?

Yep, itâ€s exactly what astrobods have been observin over the last few years, a phenomenon they attribute to dark energy. If Bars Mars is right, dark energy ainâ€t got nothing to do with it and weâ€re all starin†down the barrel of a cosmic catastrophe."

"Why Women Pretend To Be Stupid"

From the page: "Rutz and his team obtained video from 12 camera-tagged crows that showed them making using and transporting tools; eating fruit snails and lizards; and interacting with other crows. "We can now observe when exactly these animals really use tools in the wild which will help us to understand why and how their tool-making skills evolved " says Rutz"

From the page: "JGAP (pronounced "jay-gap") is a Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming component provided as a Java framework. It provides basic genetic mechanisms that can be easily used to apply evolutionary principles to problem solutions. See the examples for a demonstration or watch out the graphical tree that can be created with JGAP for found solutions of genetically evolved programs. "
