Eye-controlled earphones let you pick up phone calls with a glance
Sep 3rd
The Japanese wireless carrier NTT DoCoMo has recently developed and demonstrated a peculiar pair of headphones that can precisely detect a user’s eye movements without a camera, and use those movements to control electronic devices such as mobile phones and portable music players. DoCoMo started working on this idea back in 2008 by adapting an electrooculogram (EOG), a medical device used for measuring eye response, to their purposes. An EOG works on the principle that the human cornea has a positive electrical charge.

Localized heating could be the key to mass-producing graphene nanocircuits
Sep 3rd
Scientists from the Georgia Institute of Technology have documented a major breakthrough in the production of nanocircuitry on graphene, a material that many envision as the successor of silicon for our electronics needs. Using thermochemical nanolithography (TCNL), the team found that the electrical properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be easily tuned to reliably produce nanoscale circuits in a single, quick step… Continue Reading Localized heating could be the key to mass-producing graphene nanocircuits Tags: Electronics , Engineering , Georgia Tech , Graphene , Nanoscale , Nanostructures , Nanowires Related Articles: Researchers take first steps towards strain-based graphene engineering Breakthrough promises faster graphene based computer chips Adding graphene could mean cheaper Lithium-ion batteries Graphene interconnects could help keep pace with Moore’s Law Heat conducting graphene could cool electronics Newly-developed ‘graphone’ makes spintronic devices closer than ever

ViewSonic reveals 7-inch Android tablet
Sep 3rd
Somewhere between what we’ve come to know as a tablet computer and a smartphone sits ViewSonic’s new Viewpad 7. You might already guess from the name that this portable tablet with phone functionality sports a 7-inch touchscreen display. It runs on Android 2.2, has both Wi-Fi and 3G capabilities, and cameras at the back and front.

Samsung’s tilting lens full HD camcorder saves aching arms
Sep 3rd
Tilting LCD screens that let users keep an eye on the action when holding a camcorder up high or down low are pretty much standard nowadays, but they don’t help reduce the arm and wrist fatigue that results when holding the device in such positions. The new HMX-T10 camcorder unveiled by Samsung at IFA 2010 does, however, by featuring a Slanted lens that tilts 20 degrees to allow users to keep their desired subject in frame, while holding the camera in a more comfortable position… Continue Reading Samsung’s tilting lens full HD camcorder saves aching arms Tags: Camcorder , IFA 2010 , Lens , Samsung , Tilting Related Articles: Samsung hopes you’ll flip for its new HMX-U10 ultra compact HD camcorder Samsung announces HMX-U20 and HMX-U15 compact camcorders Samsung 5.25 mpx digital still and camcorder in one World’s first 3D consumer camcorder unveiled by Panasonic Sony HDR-CX12 Camcorder automatically snaps smiling faces Sony working on HD video camera with interchangeable lenses

All-electric Ford Focus to use liquid cooled/heated lithium-ion battery system
Sep 3rd
One of the downsides of the lithium-ion battery systems used in electric vehicles is that their performance, reliability, safety and durability can be negatively affected by extreme temperatures. When the all-new Ford Focus Electric debuts later this year in the U.S. it will be powered by a lithium-ion battery – no news there.

Researchers unveil prototype implantable artificial kidney to replace dialysis
Sep 3rd
End-stage renal disease, or chronic kidney failure, affects more than 500,000 people per year in the U.S. alone, and currently is only fully treated with a kidney transplant. That number has been rising between five to seven percent per year and with just 17,000 donated kidneys available for transplant last year the waiting list currently exceeds 85,000, according to the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network.

Nanotube sheets could lead to stealthier submarines
Sep 3rd
Two years ago, Chinese scientists coated one side of a flag with a thin sheet of nanotubes, then played a song using the flapping sheet-coated flag as a speaker. It was a demonstration of flexible speaker technology, in which nanotubes can be made to generate sound waves via a thermoacoustic effect – every time an electrical pulse is sent through the microscopic layer of nanotubes, it causes the air around them to heat up, which in turn creates a sound wave.
