Israeli scientists enwickeln detectives chip

Israeli scientists enwickeln detectives chip


Researchers at the University of Tel Aviv in Israel have developed a chip that is able to, explosives such as trinitrotoluene TNT) trace (. According to scientists, the sensor chips are sniffer dogs and all other known methods for detecting explosives far superior to.


This "nano-detectives" remarkable TNT concentrations of one part per million ( 1 ppm ). They should not only help to thwart terrorist attacks, but also show contamination - such as former military sites.


The sensor is based on the principle of a nano- field effect transistor (nano-FET). Unlike a classic as a transistor it is connected by an electric field. Inside nanowires are made of silicon. This coat them with special silicon compounds, the amino groups on their part.


To these amino groups bind TNT molecules. Electrons move from the electron-rich amino groups on the electron-deficient TNT, resulting in the charge distribution changes abruptly at the surface of the nanowires and Daduchus their conductivity. This change can be easily measured, according to scientists.


Liquid and gaseous samples can be analyzed this way. Currently, the sensor is only able to detect TNT. Researchers around the chemist Fernando Patolsky working on a chip with large nano-sensor arrays to track the various explosives in parallel.


Your sensor featured in the magazine, the scientists applied chemistry before.

The 9 cell lenovo thinkpad t60 battery. Add a little weight on the standard 6-cell and takes, but if you need to live for approximately four hours of battery life with the Model 15 "screen size. With the T60, without Wi-Fi and the average brightness (third notch 7) drop what I 3 hours and 42 minutes of battery life with light (for writing, or stop). You can expect to find more than three hours with Wi -Fi and finishing a DVD with a 9-cell battery should not be a problem as well, except for The Lord of the Rings.


The screen size T60 14 "is much better compared with the period of battery life per cell because a smaller screen just drains less battery. I think the 6-cell battery for T60 14 "you get what the 9 - to 15 battery" - again, just an uneducated guess.

Should vigorously support the hydrogen fuel cell industry chain development

Should vigorously support the hydrogen fuel cell industry chain development


Now the economy began to decline after the financial crisis, should the development of what the next step? New energy industry will rise. Energy not only with economic development, but also a necessity of people's lives. High pollution of traditional energy sources has affected people's quality of life, improvement of traditional energy sources and new energy technologies and product development, all will spawn a huge market. Fuel cells as the most promising new energy technologies, will usher in a rapid rise in the historic market opportunities. Future automotive energy solutions program are two, one electric, one is hydrogen. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is to solve the oil shortage, environmental pollution, the most promising solution.


Demonstration of fuel cell vehicles currently running in full swing in the world stepped up, the Japanese Honda million in 2009 to the order of the fuel cell vehicle lease in the United States and Europe to promote the commercialization of style, Germany launched a 10 billion euro commercial fuel cell vehicles operation Funding Scheme. Authorities worldwide from 2012 is expected to launch fuel cell vehicles each year 10 million units or more, the market capacity of 300 million or more, and there will be an annual growth rate of 30% of the market. By then, the fuel cell vehicles will usher in the explosive development.


The expensive new energy vehicles, is a social project, not individual companies to undertake alone. Governments at all levels need to adjust the economic development strategy to actively support the height, then the hydrogen fuel cell automobile industry in China is very likely to catch up, and keep pace with advanced countries and even surpass the automotive industry. If we are unable to seize the opportunity, and vigorously support, but doing nothing will lead to the deterioration of the fuel cell innovation environment, the current leader in the domestic industry has been stagnant work, enterprise, brain drain, the consequences would be disastrous. Therefore, the strategic investment we have to focus on support, can not fail to act, but if you wait until the rapid development of hydrogen fuel cell industry, we think of intervention, support, and will be the only distraught Ertan.


In order to better implement the national "energy saving", "scientific concept of development" policy, promote the fuel cell industry to develop better and faster, leading China to become a base for industrial development of fuel cell technology, we make the following suggestions: the development of fuel cells in China the development of long-term development plan. Based on the present, look to the future, with emphasis on hydrogen fuel cell vehicle R & D and industrialization. Further improve the development of fuel cell electric vehicles and industrial system. Group domestic auto industry based on large, to industrialization as the core driver, building a fuel cell electric vehicles and other applications in the areas of commercial products, industrial platform.


In Beijing, Shanghai and other famous tourist city of environmental protection as a carrier for large-scale demonstration of fuel cell vehicles run, success of the "ten cities, thousands of car" energy saving and new energy vehicle demonstration runs of work for new energy vehicles of market development and reliability improvement.


Fuel cell vehicle set up special development funds. National finance from 2009 onwards, for five consecutive years, 6 billion a year from special funds, a total of 30 billion yuan of funds for policy support. The fuel cell vehicle demonstration cities matching funds of 1:0.5, the fuel cell industry to achieve a comprehensive breakthrough in key technologies, accelerate the commercialization of promotion.


Increased national attention on the industry level, so that the fuel cell industry to enjoy the energy saving, environmental protection industry preferential fiscal and taxation policies, and their integration into the other can contribute to the development of the industry into the policy system.

Microsoft plans flexible wireless mouse with touch function

Microsoft plans flexible wireless mouse with touch function


Microsoft is soon expected to have a wireless mouse on the market to bring in that, like Apple's mouse magic touch field instead of using a scroll wheel. Users can use the tip of the finger on the scroll sensor underscoring to scroll through documents or websites. Unlike the rival Apple device supports the Microsoft-but not multi-touch gestures.


The online retailer Notebooksbilliger.de lists the Microsoft Arc mouse touch in his shop for 69.99 euros on already. The product information indicates it works with Microsoft's scanning technology BlueTrack , control on virtually any document to enable accurate one.


The most striking feature is that bend the input device for matching to the hand of the user can. For transport, it can be pushed completely flat. Thanks to the symmetric case, the mouse is suitable for both right-and left-handed.


The 2.4-GHz transceiver that connects via USB to the computer, can store away when not in use in the battery compartment of the device.

The eighth version of Internet Explorer does not pass the Acid3 test

The eighth version of Internet Explorer does not pass the Acid3 test



The final version of Internet Explorer 8The first one is not beta, just released officially. Is an upgrade to version 7 but, as critics still did not respect the web standards.


In the Acid3 test, which checks whether a browser supports web standards, IE8 he reaches 20 points on 100 total.


What do you think? Is it really a surprise? How many points you give your browser with the standard configuration?


That is why Internet Explorer 8 will be more palatable to those using a previous version, because - basically - this is an improved version. Rare is it that the lovers of foxes, chromium, compasses and operas decide to change your browser IE8. Time will tell.


Plugin Manager


The Plugin Manager Internet Explorer 8 is in some ways a somewhat more friendly and expanded this in Internet Explorer 7. Since then, however much they have tried in the Redmond company, failed to provide similar functionality to the Firefox extensions, but it's something.


From this window you can enable and disable add-ons, find information on them and also manage search providers, and Filtered InPrivate Accelerators installed. Thankfully, everything is centralized in a single window.


Safe Browsing


Every day we are more aware of the danger it poses to our web surfing privacy. It is not difficult to figure out a good amount of private information of someone from your history of visited pages, temporary files and cookies. Secure browsing InPrivate born precisely to avoid that. This is a navigation mode, once activated, leaves no trace of your travels on the computer network.


Developer Tools


Web developers have also focused on improvements to them. To begin, the source code of a webpage does not open with Notepad, but with an internal viewer, at last!, Has syntax highlighting and line numbering.


Beyond that, Internet Explorer 8 includes a section called Tools for developers, which can be accessed from the F12 or the appropriate menu.


From there you can navigate the nodes that make up the current page, view the styles and disable specific lines in real time, view and debug scripts, disable devices, display rule, validate the page ... All kit must for any webmaster.


Conclusions


Internet Explorer 8 is a considerable improvement over Internet Explorer 7, but maybe not as much as might be expected. The new version of the most used browser in the world is improving, but not as fast as the rest of their competitors.


With regard to respect for web standards, still has much room for improvement. Get 20 points out of 100 in Acid3 TestWhen their immediate competitors have already achieved, or are a point-to achieve the highest score, it is still a bit embarrassing.

Check out our personal desktops

Check out our personal desktops



Desktop appearance often reflects its owner. From a psychological point of view, the positioning of icons, wallpaper, color choice or use of certain accessories preferences indicate not only ephemeral, but lasting taste and personality traits.


If you've ever been curious to know how are the desks Softonic team, now's your chance to take a look at the screenshots of our computers. You see, some prefer the simplicity, while others have opted for either desktop tuning.The number of programs we tested each day often leads to some disorder. Each one of us, in his own way, tries to maintain a clear work area and useful at the same time, with some concessions to the gallery. The catch will show you, in alphabetical order, corresponding to the computers we use at home.


Please note that all have been reduced to a resolution of 1280×800, which in some cases has also decreased the final detail. Under each catch is a brief description by the owner:


Jordi Bonet (Windows XP)


Escritorio de Jordi Bonet


Jordi: As you see, I still shot of XP. I find it quick to load the programs that we use daily.


As wallpaper, I prefer the illustrations. I have a habit of atmosphere to the bottom as the season where we are. And the Desktop itself is used only to place the documents that I believe in a certain time.


Undoubtedly, the taskbar is my best friend. Always doubled its height. Thus, at the top I can put all the shortcuts to programs you use most and is in the bottom row where miniminizan windows.


Fabrizio Ferri (Windows Vista)


Escritorio de Fabrizio Ferri (Casa)


Fabrizio: As a shortcut bar use ObjectDock with skin Aero Zoomer II, uppermost. Note the presence of TuneUp and Everest UltimateTwo tools that I consider essential.


As I have set Desktop background "The Spectrum of the Sky"Dominic Kamp. The only icon that I like to have on the desktop is the trash. The others tend to disappear soon. It's something that has struck me since I tried BlackBox.


The theme is Aero, which comes with Vista: I have not found a better replacement, despite being an enthusiastic user of WindowBlinds. In XP I prefer to use the theme Royale Noir or Embedded Theme.


Julian Gomez (Windows XP)


Escritorio de Julian Gomez (Casa)


Julian: XP works fine but using it many years ago that the colors a bit tired. So I like to modernize your look with a little Royale Theme Remixed in its "Royale Noir".


The icons are grouped by areas. On one hand are the image programs in other P2P, in other games, which almost no-touch, another common documents and utilities in general and, finally, all browsers on a line.


This strategic position can not be lost just like that. So use Enterra Icon Keeper memorizing the position of all icons. The wallpaper changes. They are usually photos made by me that force me to adjust a little the position of the icons.


Jose Maria Lopez (Mac OS X Leopard)


Escritorio de Jose Maria Lopez


Jose Maria: Although substantive change often, usually dark colored, long ago that I have it, a mix of Aurora Leopard and the Apple logo.


Desktop always leave it empty and only files placed in use at that time.


The dock I put it to the left of the screen to take advantage of the 1280×800 widescreen MacBook, with direct access to the two folders I use most, by market segment, and the programs I use daily. Emphasize xPad, A book where I organize my notes and AppCleaner to uninstall programs you fret.


Luis Ponce de Leon (Mac OS X)


Luis: As you can see the desktop is almost as is standard. I've never tried another wallpaper I do not think it does. I do not use screensavers: 15 minutes of inactivity the screen goes off and that's enough.


I have aMule and uTorrent handy for me not to forget the title of a film before it reaches the browser. Some shortcuts added them to configure the computer for the first time but I have not ever used. The only access is really crucial is the Terminal.


Ivan Ramirez (Windows XP)


Escritorio de Ivan Ramirez


Ivan: I have no additional software on my desktop. Basically I increased the size of icons and I modified the Taskbar to fit me shortcuts in industrial quantities.


Desktop background is the house, based on the intriguing company Dharma, which many remember from the series Lost. White subdivisions to group icons are included in the background and I help maintain order.


Finally, the issue is one of the first versions of the Windows Aero theme for XP: Aero Style Glass Beta 1, including in this Longhorn theme package.


We encourage you to share your desktop with a screenshot - hosts, for example, ImageShack or PhotoBucket. In this way we can share among some of our digital self. Remember, yes, to hide any sensitive data from them. ;-)

Advantage


It was and is straight from the box and very friendly. The display has excellent color quality, everything looks clear. The speakers are great, everything seems very clear to them. Very good everything. very good speakers, very fast.


High performance and not stop once froze or not. Internet and other windows open simultaneously, and the computer will slow down at all. The screen is very bright and clear, are the ports is very good. basic computer with far more power than expected. You get a little more than what you paid.


improve their capabilities to wireless devices affordable for its basic operation. This team is definitely worth the money.


This machine has everything you need in a laptop that is used for lighting. It has a large, bright and clear. Very lively. It is very fast too. Our Internet e-mail appears immediately and without hesitation. The presentation is very easy to fix and the camera is very good too.


Disadvantages:


No reliable, always hard freezes, the system periodically close on themselves, are not really impressed by Anthlon or Vista. It is the fact that Anthlon.


With the AMD Athlon Processor could not handle more than two or three windows open at once after the problems increasingly not know if it was just the beginning Processor. It has an AMD processor, which is good and bad. The system is so funky with XP and install Windows Vista on it.


Play music files with the factory installed Windows Media Player is often interrupted without parallel processes. In built-in speakers do not use after two weeks. Disappointed that Windows XP is not available.


The Inspiron has been a little slow, but if you upgrade the store and go to a bigger hard drive to be ineffective. If you’ve tried a few programs at the same time, it freezes, use a little.


Battery


dell inspiron 1501 battery


6-cell dell inspiron 1501 battery, which could get 3 hours and 25 minutes remaining. This was at half screen brightness and Wi-Fi off. More than 3.5 hours, I leave it idle was at about half the time, and half the time I rip things like a CD, run benchmarks and tested various programs. Overall, I was sufficiently impressed to get the battery life, for example. As a portable 15.4 “is probably not a ton and do not want 4 + hours battery life. However, there is an option to upgrade a battery of nine cells must be 4 + hours battery life. The 9-cell battery is flushed with the back of the laptop and not exceed. The tester is equipped with a 85 WH (7600 mAh), 9-cell lithium-ion laptop battery, which is available to provide an additional. The investment is worth it, because this battery has a long 50%.
