Re-usable Paper Made Possible
March 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Physics
What do you think the benefits of reusing paper are? Cutting down fewer trees, spending less money on paper, decreasing the high demand, and reducing carbon emissions. All of these are now possible through the technology of a green laser. Researchers had one goal in mind; they wanted to create a laser that could strip [...]

Motion Capture Inside Out
March 28th, 2012 · No Comments · Physics
Computer scientists have been working together with robotics researchers to try and find a way to increase the chance for computer-animated characters. To do this they have to enable motion-capture technology. Motion Capture- technology is a process in which an individual’s body movements can be recorded by cameras. Normally there are motion senors that are placed onto [...]

Bleeding Plastic
March 27th, 2012 · 1 Comment · Physics
We have all seen super hero movies, where the villain or hero gets hurt and they can repair themselves. Well, this idea had motivated some scientist, and it is now a reality. Researchers have developed a plastic material that repairs itself when exposed to light. Professor Urban said, “”Our new plastic tries to mimic nature, issuing a [...]
