Crazy about your house plants? well for just $99 each they can call you and tell you they need watering. :bugeye: http://www.sciencedaily.com/videos/2009/0101-thirsty_plants_text_for_help.htm They must have scoured some bars to get that voice and changed alcohol for water. I must get one for my...

Versus MIT, CIT, etc.?

I'm still learning a lot, so please bear with me if it sounds stupid. Mods, if this isn't the right place, I'm sorry, please move to correct location. Ok, I hear all the time about how E=MC^2 brought about a lot of technology, such as nuclear power plants and microwaves. My question is...

http://www.auraphoto.com/ Is this for real? Can this technology actually reveal states of emotion, intellectualism, etc?

I slipped on ice and broke my wrist. Given our collective knowledge of the physics of slipping, isn't it possible that nano techology exists that allows us to add a non-slip substance to the soles of boots and shoes? Lev

Right now I'm majoring for a BS in Information Technology at a 4-year university. This is kind of a risky major since it's new and pretty much a watered down version of Computer Science, I think. Anyway, I'm not sure where I want to go with my career. There are many branches to take in IT like...

Has anyone tried doing it or has done it? Do you think it will be possible to interface the human brain with a computer some day?

I'm planning on taking a 3-year Advanced Diploma in a college for Electromechanical Engineering Technology. If I do well in this program, then I will transfer to an undergraduate engineering program at some university. I've been thinking, if the Technology program is equivalent to just some...

we all are familiar with this "top-secret" thing...some of us believe it,some of us don't...personaly I don't. but this question came to me,to sustain my point of view: if you want to research something that involves top-secret technology,don't you need to hire scientists that know in detail...

Hi, I am not the greatest at math but I found an interesting probability question for you guys to think through. It has to do with the popular peer-to-peer program called BitTorrent, which people use to share files on the internet, typically ranging in file size from 5MB for a single song, to...

Hey, I have to write a Lab Report that is based on the ATLAS electromagnetic calorimeter. One of the topics I have to write about is "the detector technology used". I'm unsure of what this could refer to, can anyone help?!

For those in Aerospace Engineering, this might be of interest. This report highlights 22 technical areas of R&D under NASA's Exploration Technology Development Program (ETDP). Review of NASA's Exploration Technology Development Program An Interim Report...

It's a rather renown university in the post-soviet space , but i wonder - has anyone heard of it in the western world. What could you say about it ? How does the level of education there compare to other universities. I look forward to hearing any comments :)

It seems likely to me since the first tools we used as primates-early man. Think about it, those early, pre-homosapien primates who have mutated an inheritable trait which makes them smart enough to discover the benefits of rocks, sticks etc. to enhance their ability to gather food will...

hello all i need to know whts the application of the nano technology and its fabrication i need a referenced data for my researh give me a simple and logic data

Homework Statement Current vacuum technology can achieve a pressure of 1.0 x10-10mm of Hg. At this pressure, and at a temperature of 40.0 degrees C, how many molecules are in 4.00cm3? Homework Equations p=nRT/V The Attempt at a Solution I would attempt this but I don't see how mm...

Is it wise to go for an education in nano technology, or is it just a big hype? Nano technology is often divided into bio nanotechnology, nano electronics and nano material technology. Which one would you go for?

I know that it's likely impossible to predict exactly when an earthquake will strike or when a volcano will erupt, but I was just wondering what technologies existed out there to at least forecast them and let people know that something is imminent. Again, could remote or wireless sensing...

I am researching on futuristic devices and technology innovations in consumer electronic devices. I think the next wave of innovation is coming from areas like the following: Home automation, home security/ biometric solutions, extension of Bluetooth beyond cell phones and laptops to...

As many of you have seen on the internet, there are a few nut-cases out there who believe in free-energy suppression, MIBs, UFOs, aliens, etc, etc, without proof. But, IF it were possible to make something potentially dangerous to the world with readily available parts/components. Would the...

Hi everybody! While reading Peskin-Schroeder, i stuck in the in equation 5.4 about the unpolarized cross section of the e^- e^+ \rightarrow \mu^- \mu^+ annihilation. i didn't understand how this relationof the electron trace came to be, and where the indices came from...

Fantastic and kinda spooky vid showcasing Flex Pickers. I didn't know what they were either. http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=d3zf25dmju

I was wondering what are the parameters of best centrifuges that can be built today, i.e. the greatest angular velocity*radius. I can see there are separation centrifuges available that do 6500 rpm with chamber diameter of 28cm. Is it possible to improve on this ? This is related to...

i want the information on stealth technology so that i can present my paper presentation

I have an assignment due tomorrow (year11) about DVD Technology and physics involved. I can't seem to find any info on the Physics behind DVD Technology or anything related to the topic, if anyone has a handy website or any info on Dvd Technology and related physics that would be awesome, cheers.

Ok, that title is very crude I admit it. By internetize, I mean which new technology will be the next revolutionary technology to severly impact society. Here is a brief list of my opinion of the most impacting technologies in roughly the last century. Cars Radios TVs Computers...

I'm about 70% certain of going to this university in order to do my chemical engineering course. Is there anyone who's been to the university, or knows anyone who has been and can tell me what the institution is like, how much work they had to do to get through and any other things which might...

Does anyone know about ETH Zürich? This university is very good in my mind, especially, in engineering and technology. What is the major teaching language in this university? Is it German? I think German is very difficult to learn.

"knockout" technology Does "knockout" technology work not work in human cells at this time, leaving only the option of RNA interference? I thought you could use knockout technology in human cells

I thought it might be interesting to see what members can come up with as far as old technology that was replaced by newer technology, or new technology that took things to a new level. One item per post. You may post another item as soon as someone posts after you, this will give everyone...

Dear All, I would like to know the techonology of making Polyurethane Sandals. Anyone can enlighten me? Thanks in advance, Navana

When hydrogen combusts it is turned into h20. H20 can be broken down into hydrogen and oxygen. NASA has been using solar panels power hydrogen generators in space for this purpose. Say you had a vehicle that carried a water tank, a hydrogen generator a solar panel a battery and a hydrogen...
