3-D Printing Concrete Houses Contour Crafting 3-D printers can make airplanes and their parts, food and more why not entire buildings? A professor at the University of Southern California aims to print out whole houses using layers of concrete and adding plumbing, electrical wiring and other guts as it moves upward.Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis at USC created a layered fabrication method he calls Contour Crafting, which he says can be used to build a single house or a colony of houses.It could be used with concrete or adobe he says. Khoshnevis has been developing the system for several years and hosted a presentation about it at a recent TEDx even It would use a movable gantry taller than the house you want to build. Concrete pours out and is set down layer by layer, like a typical 3-D printer would sinter plastic together. It could be ideal for emergency housing, commercial or low-income structures, but it could also be used to print out customized luxury homes, according to Khoshnevi...

Not since the Soviets launched Sputnik into Earth's orbit in the 1960s has there been such urgency for America to redesign science and math education programs. Now, in the third millennium, the initiative takes the form of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education. Research demonstrates that interest among American students in STEM subjects has greatly declined, a major issue given that the STEM labor force is an indicator of a nation's ability to sustain itself. The new STEM initiative will launch with a bold mission: to reengage students in the joys of learning science and mathematics at all levels of education. The launch is well underway. In January of this year President Obama announced that $250 million would be invested in training and recruiting 100,000 new science and math teachers. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan made STEM a prerequisite for states applying for Race to the Top funding.In lockstep with the White House announcemen...

Depending on when you were born, technology could be your friend, your enemy or just an acquaintance.  Years ago, when computer screens weren’t the size of the average smartphone and one had to have an advanced degree to figure out how to turn 0′s and 1′s into actual functions, most of us would have leave technology to the experts.  But now, we have incredible access to enormous amounts of information and we have powerful machines that sit in the palm of our hands ready to do very complex tasks. Technology is a part of our lives – it is in our cars, it is at our doctor’s office, it is in our schools, it is in our televisions, our phones, our credit cards, and on and on. Achievers are committed to continual improvement. If you aren’t keeping up, you are falling behind because everyone else is moving forward but you.So how do those of us who are inept and still have VHS VCRs blinking under our tubed TVs embrace that which scares us, frustrates us, and forces us to ask our five y...

The main takeaway: wearable tech is already a $3- to $5 billion market today. In the next two to three years, it could skyrocket to $30- to $50 billion.That means more smartwatches, fitness monitors, shoes, and headsets.Smartphones are one of the key driving forces behind the expected growth in wearable tech, acting as a hub that keeps all of our devices connected.

A truck carrying extremely dangerous material used in medical treatment has been stolen in Mexico officials said.The truck was transporting cobalt-60 from a hospital in the northern city of Tijuana to a radioactive waste storage facility when it was stolen in Tepojaco near Mexico City Monday, the International Atomic Energy Agency said in a statement. Cobalt-60 is a radioactive isotope and was being used in radiotherapy. Mexican authorities are conducting a search for the material and have issued a statement to alert the public, the IAEA said.The truck is a white Volkswagen Worker with license plate 726-DT-8, Mexico's National Commission for Nuclear Security and Safeguards said.At the time the truck was stolen, the source was properly shielded. However, the source could be extremely dangerous to a person if removed from the shielding, or if it was damaged the IAEA said in the statement.There was no indication from officials that the truck was headed for the U.S.U.S. law enforcement...

Scientists are investigating the possible link between pollution found in diesel fumes and the global collapse of honey bee colonies. Researchers from the University of Southampton believe nanoparticles emitted from diesel engines could be affecting bees brains and damaging their in-built navigation skills. They believe this may stop worker bees finding their way back to the hive.There is also a theory that diesel fumes mop up flower smells in the atmosphere, making it difficult for the insects to find food. Ecologist professor Guy Poppy and neuroscientist Dr Tracey Newman think nanoparticles are one of a number of stress factors which could lead to a tipping point in bee health, which in turn could contribute to bee-colony collapse.They will now take part in a three-year, �156,000 study to find out more.Diesel road traffic is increasing in the UK and research from the US has shown that nanoparticles found in its fumes can be detrimental to the brains of animals when they are exposed t...

There was a time when science was the pre-occupation of lone scientists trying to unravel the mysteries of nature. Their purpose possibly had been to derive ethereal sense of pleasure by contributing in some messure towards the intellectual growth of mankind. Recent pass has brought about revolutionary change in the scientific outlook of the people, specially after realising that nature is a great source of power, and it is Science alone that can assist in placing that Power in the hands of man for promoting the human progress, prosperity and well being. Science, and inventions are now rightly regarded as the most important means for improving the material welfare of the people. The agency of Science as a major force of social reconstruction nowstands universally accepted. It is no wonder, therefore. that the scientific development of a country becomes the yard-stick of its progress and greatness In technology, there is a strong desire to shrink things. Consider the sheer amount of new...

SpaceX added another historic mission to its resume with the successful launch of its Falcon 9 rocket with a $100 million SES-8 satellite in tow.This was the seventh official launch in the Falcon 9 series and takes SpaceX, run by founder Elon Musk, one step closer to its ultimate goal of transporting humans into space by 2017.The successful launch came from Cape Canaveral on Tuesday afternoon came after two previous attempts were cancelled in recent weeks. The entry of SpaceX into the commercial market is a game-changer SES chief technology officer Martin Halliwell said in a recent teleconference.It's going to really shake the industry to its roots.SpaceX has said the goal of the launch is to take a payload to a predetermined geostationary location 50,000 miles above the Earth’s surface. The 224.4 foot tall rocket can be used to carry cargo payloads or SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft into orbit .Meeting this national priority for an American human space transportation capability is para...

There was no Zumba in 1965, no hot yoga CrossFit spin nor many other faddish exercises that  modern-day moms plunk down their money for to stay trim and healthy.But there was a lot more housework like cooking, cleaning, and childcare and a lot less passive entertainment, like watching television, which may explain weight differences between moms about 50 years ago and mothers today. According to a new study published in the medical journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings, over the last 50 years mothers have become significantly less active overall and require about 1,200-1,500 fewer calories per week to stay at a healthy weight compared to their 1965 counterparts. The authors say that this energy imbalance calories consumed versus calories burned is contributing to the obesity epidemic for both women and their children. Can You Be Obese and 'Healthy'? I'm not saying that women should do more housework, but they need to add physical activity back into the day lead author Edward Arch...

(CHINA OUT) Two high-speed trains are seen at the China National Convention Center on March 7, 2011 in Beijing, China. The technological achievement exhibition opened on Monday as China display and promotes their science and technology achievements from the past five-years

 This strategy, coupled with the national strategy for socio-economic development is focused on reforming financial mechanisms for improving scientific and technological operations, and encouraging businesses to invest in the field.The science and technology sector in Vietnam is striving for regional and international standards in some fields by 2020.Since 2000, just 2 percent of the State budget has been allocated to the development of science and technology, accounting for 0.45-0.5 percent of GDP, and investment from other sources is yet to come up to expectations.  Participants in a recent online exchange organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) and the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations (VUSTA) underlined the need to increase both domestic and foreign investments in developing the science and technology sector.According to MoST Deputy Minister Nghiem Vu Khai, it is possible to raise the level of investment to 1.5 percent of the country’...

A little bit of reason, intellect, modern thought… every miracle can be explained… the people in the day of Jesus were all sick, not demon possessed.God was invented by primitive people who had no explanation for the wind, the weather, the lights in the sky, life or death. It absolved them of uncertainty, and personal responsibility.But we’re past all that now. All of that was primitive.Stick with me please. I’m going somewhere good with this.Even Paul admitted that it’s okay to believe as a child when you’re a child but when you’re an adult you put away childish things. (1 Cor 13:11)There comes a time when we have to put away such a simplistic childlike faith. Right?But what about, what the man we believe to be God, said…Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it. (MK 10:15)

Self-piloted drones have become sophisticated enough to land on moving aircraft carriers, but put a single unexpected tree in the way, and they will crash. Now a five-university group that includes specialists in biology, computer vision and robotics is trying to teach drones to dodge obstacles on the fly. Working with $7.5 million from the Office of Naval Research, the scientists aim to build an autonomous, fixed-wing surveillance drone that can navigate through an unfamiliar city or forest at 35 miles an hour.The group’s inspiration is the pigeon. Hardy, plentiful and receptive to training, the birds are easy to study. In flight, they estimate the distance between themselves and objects ahead by quickly processing blurry, low-resolution images, just as a drone will need to do. And, crucially, they have a tendency to make decisions at the last moment—within five feet of an obstacle.The first step is to teach robots to differentiate between obstacles and empty space. Engineers have alr...

Self-piloted drones may be able to land or fly almost anywhere -- even aircraft carriers -- but they need some complex navigation skills to do it, including the somewhat existential ability to know where they are in the world. But this is difficult without some type of onboard relative positioning system. A new algorithmic project at MIT straps netbook computer parts to a specially designed, laser-equipped airplane that can find itself and navigate tight spaces safely.First, the researchers needed a plane that could carry all the computers and electronics it would need to fly, yet still handle tight spaces and low speeds with aerodynamic ease. MIT professor Mark Drela came up with this unusual short-winged model, which buys the aircraft slightly more response time in tight spaces. The Robust Robotics Group, led by associate aeronautics and astronautcs professor Nick Roy, used two types of algorithms to help their airplane locate itself in real timt was pre-loaded wit...

About two years ago, Brian Haus, the chair of the Division of Applied Marine Physics at the University of Miami, was studying storms in the western Pacific ocean, off the coast of Taiwan. He and his team are chasing hurricanes. Sometimes the hurricanes completely miss the sensor-packed buoys placed in their path to track power and speed. Sometimes they don't.This time, the researchers got lucky.Not one but two super typhoons hit their equipment at the same time. Even luckier, most of their gear managed to not break apart. He and his team waited for the storms to subside before they left port to retrieve their recording devices. But before they could recover the buoys, one storm, named Chaba, defied the forecasts. Instead of losing strength, it headed right for them at full power. Haus and his fellow researchers found themselves enduring nine days of "most uncomfortable" 30-foot swells. Last month, the University of Miami broke ground on the 45-million-dollar Marine Techno...

Samsung has gone on the abhorrent in its cloister action with Apple, accusing its battling of anarchic patents accompanying to emailing photographs and 3G wireless technology.A Silicon Valley cloister gave was the Korean behemothic its about-face to bandy mud in a high-stakes balloon that has absorbed the industry. Dr Woodward Yang, an electrical engineering assistant at Harvard, said Apple's articles use Samsung-patented appearance for adaptable devices, including the action for seamlessly emailing photos. He was one of Samsung's aboriginal assemblage afterwards a array of Apple experts said Samsung phones and tablets abandoned Apple's patents.One of Samsung's designers aswell testified that she did not await on Apple designs to actualize icons for Samsung's Galaxy S smartphone line. Apple and Samsung are traveling toe-to-toe in a patents altercation apery a attack for industry supremacy amid two rivals that ascendancy added than bisected of common smartphone sales...

We tend to forget that the latest shiny gadgets that abound in our modern world would be pointless without the backup that enables them to work. The factors that enable these things to be used are inter-dependent on a complex range of other technologies, most of which are beyond both our comprehension and our control. On an everyday level, how useful is a mobile phone when the batteries run out and what can you do with a car that has no petrol? Mahindra Axe  Far more complicated are the myriad support systems required to make much of our high-end technology function. As a military example, a standard heat-seeking missile requires special fuel, a dedicated warhead, computers that control the guidance system, gyroscopic stabilizing and an on-board self-destruct mechanism. Without all of these, the rocket is simply a scrap-bin of very expensive parts heading into the blue yonder.Even the sciences that have brought us that most commonplace of military hardware, the firearm, are wholly ...

Lately I accept apprehend abounding online writing on technology and internet issues.In the accomplished anniversary there accept been the following: Some of Google had been afraid in China, Nintendo server getting afraid into. A few weeks back, the case of Sony getting afraid into and claimed advice of users were stolen. As technology advances, we acquisition ourselves application it added and added in accustomed life, relying on it added and if put into acute context, we accept become absolutely abased to it and may at times become disciplinarian to technology.Who can candidly say they do not analysis their phones or emails at atomic 2-3 times or added a day? How abounding of us would say the aboriginal affair we grab in the morning afore we deathwatch up is our phone? I am academic if we in fact recorded our own time acceptance of technology in just one day, we will be shocked. If you anticipate about it this will include: phones, PC, internet, television, gadgets.

Technological improvements appear all the time, with new developments accepting appear in altered fields every day. Whilst it can yield a while for new advances to clarify through to accepted abode items, it happens at such a amount that there are consistently new technologies acceptable commercially available. If you anticipate about altar which are now accepted place, such as 3D TVs and iPads, for most, we can bethink if the account was heralding them as the newest thing. Technology moves into abounding altered areas too, with those who break abaft generally award it harder to bolt up, or in the case of businesses, abeyance to trade. Abounding technologies that are developed for one affair get adulterated into added areas as humans see uses above those originally intended. Changes in the use of technology are accepted place. Looking aback to the radio, its aboriginal purpose was to advice shipping, but it bound developed into a antecedent for bartering opportunities and helped with a...

There are so abounding altered types of abutting technology that is accepted to mark its brand on the advance of blooming technology. The blooming added avant-garde technology has already showed abundant affiance in agreement of carrying the accomplished product, we are just in the date breadth abounding of that abutting technology is getting tested. This avant-garde technology is getting activated so that it can some day be perfected. And that day, is boring approaching. With the blooming abutting technology appliance getting appropriate about the corner, there are still able measures that are taken during the development phases. The avant-garde technology that is getting thoroughly adjourned afore it is alien boundless in the attack from conceptual use to the applied usage. These avant-garde technology creations are already assuming glimpses of influencing abundant change to the absolute universe. This is why we abide to break on the bend of our seats until this avant-garde technolog...
