I’ve always been fond of supercomputers and I even did a college final project on supercomputers. (That’s 10 years ago..) Here’s Roadrunner Supercomputer, based out of Los Alamos National Laboratory, supposedly a lot faster than the now-runner-up BlueGene from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in Livermore, California. Damn, I wish Google released how big their computers ...

Lol, this is cool, I guess Cuttlefish is the only living organism that can learn inside the egg… Before they have even hatched, cuttlefish embryos can peer out of their eggs and spot potential prey. It is the first time any animal has been shown to learn visual images before they are born. Ludovic Dickel and his colleagues at the University of Caen Basse-Normandy, France, made the ...

Comments

Cool, scientists have figured out how to make you invisible! Physicists figured out the complex mathematical equations for making objects invisible by bending light around them last year. A group of engineers at Purdue University in Indiana have now used those calculations to design a relatively simple device that ought to be able to—one day soon—make objects as big as an airplane s ...

Wow, memory made from virus living in cigarettes? All the hip-cool scientists these days are enslaving living organisms to do their bidding. Luckily, they’re sticking with the micro end of the size spectrum, or “nano” end in this case. Apparently they’ve managed to create some supa’ fast memory chips by coating 30-nanometer-long bits of tobacco mosaic virus ...
