Tourist's trust is based on social media and the web Apr 15th 2013, 13:59 Does social media and internet based information sources such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Blogs and many more influence our decision on where we travel to and how we share our experiences with others? | Organic semi-conductors could revolutionize electronics Apr 8th 2013, 12:48 Organic semi-conductors could revolutionize electronics in various areas. Nowadays, components put out such high performances that they are used in small devices like mobile phones. With larger devices, however, the organic components heat up in such an uncontrollable manner that they break down or conduct electricity in an irregular way. Physicists and mathematicians have now analyzed the typical feedback effects and they describe them for organic semi-conductors. | Insect drives robot to track down smells Feb 6th 2013, 01:01 A small, two-wheeled robot has been driven by a male silkmoth to track down the sex pheromone usually given off by a female mate. The robot has been used to characterize the silkmoth's tracking behaviors and it is hoped that these can be applied to other autonomous robots so they can track down smells, and the subsequent sources, of environmental spills and leaks when fitted with highly sensitive sensors. | Semiconductor physics: Taking control of spin Feb 3rd 2013, 19:54 Generating and sustaining electrical currents with unique properties for information processing comes closer to reality after a successful theoretical demonstration. | |
