| Nature pulls a fast one on astronomers: Two galaxies caught masquerading as one Posted: 15 Nov 2013 05:18 PM PST What might look like a colossal jet shooting away from a galaxy turns out to be an illusion. New data from the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) reveal that two galaxies, one lying behind the other, have been masquerading as one.  |
| What could possibly go wrong? A lot: Injuries from the Tough Mudder Posted: 15 Nov 2013 12:45 PM PST The Tough Mudder, an extreme sports event that bills itself as "probably the toughest event on the planet," resulted in injuries ranging from multiple electrical burns to seizure-induced Todd's paralysis. A case series of serious injuries sustained by participants in one such race was reported in a new article.  |
| New hologram technology created with tiny nanoantennas Posted: 15 Nov 2013 06:49 AM PST Researchers have created tiny holograms using a "metasurface" capable of the ultra-efficient control of light, representing a potential new technology for advanced sensors, high-resolution displays and information processing.  |
| Organic lights and solar cells straight from the printer Posted: 15 Nov 2013 06:44 AM PST Flickering façades, curved monitors, flashing clothing, fluorescent wallpaper, flexible solar cells – and all printable. This is no make-believe vision of the future; it will soon be possible using a new printing process for organic light-emitting diodes.  |
| Wireless power transfer for electric vehicles Posted: 14 Nov 2013 09:22 AM PST Engineering researchers have developed new technology and techniques for transmitting power wirelessly from a stationary source to a mobile receiver -- moving engineers closer to their goal of creating highway "stations" that can recharge electric vehicles wirelessly as the vehicles drive by.  |
