NASA Mars rover Opportunity reveals geological mystery: Spherical objects unlike previously found 'blueberries' Posted: 14 Sep 2012 12:40 PM PDT NASA's long-lived rover Opportunity has returned an image of the Martian surface that is puzzling researchers. Spherical objects concentrated at an outcrop Opportunity reached last week differ in several ways from iron-rich spherules nicknamed "blueberries" the rover found at its landing site in early 2004 and at many other locations to date.

X-rays unravel mysterious degradation of Van Gogh painting: Protective varnish caused discoloration Posted: 14 Sep 2012 05:09 AM PDT Synchrotron X-ray analysis has identified why parts of a Van Gogh painting changed color over time: a supposedly protective varnish applied after the master's death has made some bright yellow flowers turn to orange-grey. The origin is a degradation process at the interface between paint and varnish. After this discovery, conservators in many museums have to newly address the question of restoring Van Gogh paintings.

Seeing through clothing: Radiation-enabled chips could lead to low-cost security imaging systems Posted: 12 Sep 2012 01:15 PM PDT Scientists are reconfiguring existing semi-conductor computer chips and turning them into high-frequency circuits with the capability of seeing through packaging and clothing to produce an image of what is hidden underneath. The chip could be the basis of sophisticated but affordable, portable detection technology able to meet everyday security needs.

The Cynical Girl: Introducing Career Hangout

---

Introducing Career Hangout Posted: 14 Sep 2012 03:45 AM PDT A few months ago, my friends at mediabistro asked me to participate in a Google Hangout with Lars Schmidt. It was awesome in a cable access TV kind of way — and that’s where I do my best work. Lars and I talked about careers and job interviews. I love that kind of stuff. My original goal with Punk Rock HR was to take my knowledge of recruiting and HR and share it with the world and mediabistro has been there for me throughout my blogging career — always helping me to achieve my goals. After the event, I sent a note to Lars. The note simply said, “I’m bored with my life. Let’s do something.” He didn’t say no. Then I said, “Can’t we just do more Google hangouts and talk about careers?” Bam. We are now going to hangout on Google every Tuesday at 11AM ET. Our goal is to pay it forward and help you find a job or make your job better. That’s it. Lars and I have a combined 30 years worth of industry experience. We both have great networks, real jobs and solid recruiting experience. We just figure — we  can’t solve your the world’s problems but maybe we can help you with your career. Maybe. I think this will be fun, but more importantly, I hope we will help people who just want to move forward and get back to work. So watch us on our website on Tuesdays at 11AM ET. That’s it. So easy. You don’t even have to watch us live, either. The archive will be on our site, too. PS — Wish us luck. Lars is a natural on camera. I need diva lights.

Spherical objects concentrated at an outcrop Opportunity reached last week differ in several ways from iron-rich spherules nicknamed "blueberries" the rover found at its landing site in early 2004 and at many other locations to date.

'Memristors' based on transparent electronics offer technology of the future Posted: 14 Sep 2012 11:00 AM PDT Transparent electronics may find one of their newest applications as a next-generation replacement for some uses of non-volatile flash memory, a multi-billion dollar technology nearing its limit of small size and information storage capacity. The solution: memristors.

First planets found around sun-like stars in a cluster Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:34 AM PDT Astronomers have, for the first time, spotted planets orbiting sun-like stars in a crowded cluster of stars. The findings offer the best evidence yet that planets can sprout up in dense stellar environments. Although the newfound planets are not habitable, their skies would be starrier than what we see from Earth.

Getting (drugs) under your skin: Using ultrasound waves, researchers boost skin's permeability to drugs Posted: 14 Sep 2012 10:31 AM PDT Using ultrasound waves, engineers have found a way to enhance the permeability of skin to drugs, making transdermal drug delivery more efficient.

A network to guide the future of computing Posted: 13 Sep 2012 05:46 AM PDT Moore's Law, the observation by Intel co-founder Gordon E. Moore that the number of transistors on a chip doubles approximately every two years, has been accurate for half a century. As a result, we now carry more processing power in the mobile phones in our pockets than could fit in a house-sized computer in the 1960s. But by around 2020 Moore's Law will start to reach its limits: the laws of physics will eventually pose a barrier to higher transistor density, but other factors such as heat, energy consumption and cost look set to slow the increase in performance even sooner.
