MIT concocts fogless glass
By Michael Kanellos

How do you prevent glasses from fogging up? Coat them in water, says a group of researchers at MIT.
At the American Chemical Society meeting in Washington, D.C., this week, scientists from MIT explained how they have developed a new material--which consists of thin, alternating layers of tiny glass particles and polymers--that will resist fogging and work in a far wider range of environments than current fog-resistant glass and plastics. In two to five years, glasses, ski goggles and car windshields could be made with the material. So far, the military (the project was funded by DARPA) and two car manufacturers have expressed interest.
The MIT technique is somewhat counterintuitive since fog develops when tiny water droplets form on a glass surface. The thousands of droplets adhere to a glass or plastic surface at random, sharply angled points. The droplets scatter light in random patterns, causing the surfaces to become foggy to the human eye.
Rather than repel water, the new coating attracts it. The water then forms a thin, continuous layer across the surface, reducing the scattering of light without creating distortion. The same principle is at work when you can suddenly see through a foggy scuba mask once under water.
To harvest water from air, MIT copies beetles

How does the Namib desert beetle, a native of one of the driest areas of the planet, get water? It drinks the moisture it collects on its back. And someday you may too.
Robert Cohen and Michael Rubner, professors at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have developed a material inspired by the outer shell of the beetle that is capable of extracting liquids from the atmosphere and channeling it into storage areas.
The material could potentially be used to harvest water from moist air or to create mini-cooling devices. The U.S. military also has expressed interest in using the material, or some variant of it, to collect harmful substances. Such a material would allow machinery or other equipment to disinfect itself.

Why a spider hanging from a thread does not rotate
The extraordinary properties of spider's thread are like a blessing for researchers working on polymers. However, the amazing twisting properties it displays are still not very well understood. How can one explain the fact that a spider suspended by a thread remains completely motionless, instead of rotating like a climber does at the end of a rope? Researchers at the Laboratoire de physique des lasers (CNRS/University of Rennes) have described the exceptional properties of this material which still has some secrets to reveal. The results will be published in Nature on 30 March 2006.
Fasten an object to the end of a vertically suspended thread. Give it a slight twist and let go. You will observe that the object rotates for a certain length of time and with a certain amplitude, depending on the material of the thread. Now observe a spider suspended from its thread: It is stable, doesn't move, spins its thread in a perfectly straight line and always recovers its balance after environmental disturbances.
By experimenting with a torsion pendulum to which they attached a mass equivalent to a spider's weight, researchers at the Laboratoire de physique des lasers (CNRS/University of Rennes) compared the dynamic reactions of different types of thread to a 90° rotation. The results are revealing: a KevlarTM filament (which is synthetic) behaves like an elastic, with reduced oscillations. A copper thread oscillates slightly but does not return to its original shape, and becomes more fragile as a result of these oscillations. Spider's thread, on the other hand, is very efficient at absorbing oscillations, regardless of air resistance, and retains its twisting properties during the experiments. It also returns to its exact original shape. Certain alloys, such as Nitinol, possess similar properties but must be heated to 90° to return to their original shape.
The amazing properties of spider's thread have been known for several years: its ductility, strength and hardness surpass those of the most complex synthetics fibers . It now also seems that through natural selection, spider's thread has evolved into a material with “self-shape memory effect” which allows it to return to its original configuration without outside stimulus. This complex dynamic process has recently been represented as a “stacked” model which the authors use to depict the relaxation of the different proteins in spider's thread.

The Top 10 weirdest keyboards ever
Retinal implants may soon restore lost vision
By Amanda Termen
Published: April 4, 2006, 12:00 PM PDT
For those who've lost their sight to retinal disease, there may be light at the end of the tunnel.
Researchers are making headway on high-tech fixes that would use implants to restore vision to the 25 million around the world who live in darkness because of retinal disease. Some of those implants could move from testing to the marketplace within just a few years.
The efforts are under way at a combination of universities, government agencies and private companies in the U.S., Belgium, Japan and Australia, among other countries.
At the end of this month, the efforts will be measured against each other when thousands of vision researchers gather at ARVO 2006, the annual meeting of the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"There is a phenomenal race going on," said Gerald Chader, chief scientific officer at the Doheny Eye Institute at the University of Southern California. "Some of the more rudimentary implants are going to get out on the market fairly soon, and they are going to be really useful."
One of the U.S. efforts is the Boston Retinal Implant Project, which is affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The group is designing a wireless retinal prosthesis, intended to trick the brain into seeing by pinging it with electrical signals.
Optical Scientists Develop Switchable Focus Eyeglass Lenses

By Lori Stiles
April 03, 2006
Optical scientists have developed eyeglass lenses that switch focus in a blink of an eye.
Optical scientists at The University of Arizona have developed new switchable, flat, liquid crystal diffractive lenses that can adaptively change their focusing power.
That's great news for those old enough to wear bifocals.
And it's great news for anyone with imperfect vision, for it opens the way for next-generation "smart" eyeglasses -- glasses with built-in automatic focus.
In the foreseeable future, for example, you won't change prescription eyeglasses -- your eye doctor will just tweak a new prescription into the specs you already own.
You could even program your glasses for better than 20-20 vision.

Doctors grow organs from patients' own cells
Seven living with bladders from new process
Monday, April 3, 2006; Posted: 6:32 p.m. EDT (22:32 GMT)
HADDAM NECK, Connecticut (CNN) -- Kaitlyne McNamara no longer worries about feeling different at school.
The 16-year-old was born with spina bifida, a congenital birth defect that stunts brain and spinal cord development. The disease left her with a crippling jumble of nerves jutting out from the base of her spine.
Kaitlyne had dozens of major surgeries as a child, but then another problem surfaced: Her bladder was not functioning properly.
"If she drank a cup of water or a cup of juice, her bladder's pressures were at such an intense point she would have something called a bladder burst," recalled her mother, Tracy McNamara.
Accidents caused by the bladder pressure were another concern.
"At my school they make fun of you ... and I didn't want to become singled out because I was different from everybody else," Kaitlyne said.
A new procedure pioneered at Wake Forest University in North Carolina has apparently solved the problem for Kaitlyne and six other patients.
Scientists grew new bladders from the patients' own cells, which were then transplanted back into the patients' bodies.
Science Journal: Caveman crooners may have aided early human life
Friday, March 31, 2006
By Sharon Begley, The Wall Street Journal
In Steven Mithen's imagination, the small band of Neanderthals gathered 50,000 years ago around the caves of Le Moustier, in what is now the Dordogne region of France, were butchering carcasses, scraping skins, shaping ax heads -- and singing.
One of the fur-clad men started it, a rhythmic sound with rising and falling pitch, and others picked it up, indicating their willingness to cooperate both in the moment and in the future, when the group would have to hunt or fend off predators. The music promoted "a sense of we-ness, of being together in the same situation facing the same problems," suggests Prof. Mithen, an archaeologist at England's Reading University. Music, he says, creates "a social rather than a merely individual identity." And that may solve a longstanding mystery.
Music gives biologists fits. Its ubiquity in human cultures, and strong evidence that the brain comes preloaded with musical circuits, suggest that music is as much a product of human evolution as, say, thumbs. But that raises the question of what music is for. Back in 1871, Darwin speculated that human music, like bird songs, attracts mates. Or, as he put it, prelinguistic human ancestors tried "to charm each other with musical notes and rhythm."
Some scientists today share that view. "Music was shaped by sexual selection to function mostly as a courtship display," Geoffrey Miller, of the University of New Mexico, argued in a 2001 paper. But like Darwin, he bases that conclusion on the belief that music has "no identifiable survival benefits." If a trait doesn't help creatures survive, then it can persist generation after generation only if it helps them reproduce.
Studies in neuroscience and anthropology, however, suggest that music did help human ancestors survive, particularly before language. In "The Singing Neanderthals," which Harvard University Press is publishing Friday, Prof. Mithen weaves those studies into an intriguing argument that "language may have been built on the neural underpinnings of music."

Animated Tattoos
From the perennial favorite website How Stuff Works, a discussion on the technology behind animated tattoos.
Jay Sean Singer, creator of the hardware and software that have made animated tattoos a reality.
An X-ray of a PVSI
Before you run to your nearest animated tattoo shop hoping to implant a full-motion video, please be sure to think about the possible dangers associated with such actions. According to How Stuff Works:
First and foremost it is currently illegal to give or get animated tattoos. Beyond that there are safety concerns. Jacob Schlieb of The American Society of Plastic Surgeons had this to say about animated tattoos: "If you are performing an elective surgery without a medical license then you are in violation of the law. That's the bottom line. Beyond that there are dozens of reasons not to perform these procedures and certainly more reasons not to have it done. This technology has not been subject to any sort of monitored, scientific or medical trials. We don't know if it's safe to have these appliances implanted in the skin...they could result in any number of health problems." Schlieb continues, "...that's not even touching on how insanely negligent and dangerous it is to have this procedure done by persons with no medical training, without proper facilities or sterilization. This is tantamount to back-alley surgery."
....
Singer dodged specific questions about particular dangers associated with animated tattoos, but Pinter did say, "We don't really talk about the batteries a lot. If anything in this contraption is gonna make you balloon out with hundreds of tumors it's gonna be that battery rig. But we don't really know for sure. That's not going in the article is it?"
Of course not, Carl.

Let me start this post with a disclaimer. I wasn't much of a science geek in college. At the time I was more interested in apertures than atoms, cyanotypes over cryogenics, and vignetting before viscosity. My interest in chemistry pretty much started and stopped in the photography lab. So, it is with a bit of wide-eyed wonderment and curiosity that I observe the molecular gastronomy movement. Watching what is going on is both exciting and intimidating - the laboratory is melding with the kitchen and vice versa. A whole new vocabulary of textures, tastes, and techniques is emerging and evolving.

There’s an old joke that if you were reincarnated, you might want to come back as a Styrofoam cup.
Why? Because they last forever. Ba-dum-bum.
Despite being made 95 percent of air, Styrofoam’s manufactured immortality has posed a problem for recycling efforts. More than 3 million tons of the durable material is produced every year in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Very little of it is recycled.
Help may come from bacteria that have been found to eat Styrofoam and turn it into useable plastic. This is the stuff recycling dreams are made of: Yesterday’s cup could become tomorrow’s plastic spoon.
