Working with a tiny crystal of a rare mineral that took 10 months to make, the researchers for the first time have  demonstrated a magnetic state called a QSL (quantum spin liquid) , according to MIT physics professor Young Lee. He is the lead author of a paper on their findings, which is set to be published in the journal Nature this week. Theorists had said QSLs might exist, but one had never been demonstrated before. 'We think it's pretty important,' Lee said, adding that he would let his peers be...

Gov't Report Predicts Cyborgs, Rise of China for 2030  Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 11, @06:39PM  colinneagle writes "Yesterday the National Intelligence Council (NIC), which is made up of 17 U.S. government intelligence agencies, released the 140-page report  Global Trends 2030 Alternate Worlds . In all four of the alternative visions of the future, U.S. influence declines and it may be regarded more as a 'first among equals.' By 2030,  the West will be in decline and Asia will wield more overall global power  than the U.S. and Europe combined. 'China alone will probably have the largest economy, surpassing that of the United States a few years before 2030,' the report states. 'Megatrends' include an overall reduction of poverty and the 'growth of a global middle class.' NIC also sees a potential world of scarcities as the demand for food and water increase as the world's population swells from 7.1 billion to 8.3 billion people. ...

http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/02/whats-up-with-whatsapp-facebook-might-want-to-buy-it-thats-what/ What's Up With Whatsapp? Facebook Might Want To Buy It, That's What INGRID LUNDEN ALEXIA TSOTSIS Whatsapp , the multiplatform mobile messaging app that has been one of the runaway success stories for ad-free, paid services, has been in talks to be acquired by Facebook, according to sources close to the matter. We're still digging around on potential price and other details about how advanced the deal is. But as mobile becomes the latest battleground in the Internet's  game of thrones , you can see how such a deal could make sense. For starters, it would be another way for Facebook to continue extending its touchpoints with mobile consumers, an area Mark Zuckerberg asserted, on the occasion of reaching 1 billion monthly active users on Facebook, would be crucial to Facebook reaching the "next billion." "The big thing is obviously going to b...

(Credit: Broad Group) A 220-story Sky City tower in the Chinese city of Changsha could take the crown as the world's tallest skyscraper next March with an astounding height of 2,749 feet, edging out the mega Burj Khalifa that currently stands 2,722 feet over Dubai. What makes the 11-million-square-foot Sky City so astonishing isn't its height or its appearance but rather the three-month construction pla...

CEO perusahaan JBI, Inc., John Bordynuik, memegang setoples bahan bakar yang diproduksi dari limbah plastik. (VOA/D. Robison) Daniel Robinson 31.10.2012 Plastik bisa menjadi bahan bakar di masa depan. Namun sayangnya, hanya 7 persen dari limbah plastik di Amerika Serikat didaur ulang setiap tahun, menurut Lembaga Perlindungan Lingkungan. Sebuah perusahaan di Niagara Falls, New York, saat ini sedang berupaya meningkatkan persentase itu supaya dapat mengurangi ketergantungan Amerika terhadap minyak impor. Mesin pembuat bahan bakar dari plastik itu disebut "monster pemakan plastik." Setiap jam, ribuan kilogram potongan botol susu, botol air dan kantung belanja masuk ke dalam ruangan pembakaran besar.

Daihatsu Ayla and Toyota Agya Sister Cars Launched at Indonesia Motor Show http://www.autoevolution.com/news/daihatsu-ayla-and-toyota-agya-sister-cars-launched-at-indonesia-motor-show-49707.html   Toyota and Daihatsu have just launched their two virtually-identical jointly-developed cars, the Ayla and Agya, at the Indonesia International Motor Show. The car is a five-door hatchback measuring just over 3.5 meters in length, so Toyota's three-pot 1.0-liter motor with 65 hp and 87 Nm of torque is adequate to motivate it along. Both cars are built by Daihatsu, and the Toyota variant gets different front bumper and grille design, and that's it. The latter will, however, get a 'TRD S' version which will get a subtle aero pack, which includes sportier bumpers and side skirts, as well as more 'racy' alloys - the engine, however, is the same 1.0-liter unit, so performance will be identical. The Ayla and Agya are both specifically designed for the needs of the...

http://ca.reuters.com/article/technologyNews/idCABRE8891EH20120910   Advanced Micro launches low-power server platform Mon Sep 10, 2012 7:59pm EDT   Print This Article SAN FRANCISCO  (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices unveiled an energy-efficient server platform aimed at Big Data and cloud computing, the first major fruit of its acquisition of SeaMicro this year as the chipmaker struggles to diversify beyond a stagnant PC industry. The new technology, which works with processors made by AMD as well as Intel, has more bandwidth while using less electricity than previous products, Andrew Feldman, formerly CEO of SeaMicro and now at AMD, told reporters at an event. AMD bought Silicon Valley startup SeaMicro in March for $334 million to gain a foothold in smaller, lower-power computer servers, a potential area of growth as Internet services expand and corporations look to save on electricity bills. Its focus on low-power servers comes as ARM Holdings, whose energy-efficient...

http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/healthy-food-combinations/printer.php The Most Powerful Food Combinations By: Adam Baer Who came up with the idea that we are supposed to drink orange juice at breakfast? And why, if oatmeal is so good for us, do we eat that only in the morning as well? Apologies to the Palinites, but nutritionists are starting to realize that you and I like our oatmeal and OJ before we start the day because we evolved to like it that way—because enjoying the two together is healthier than eating each of them alone. Epidemiologist David R. Jacobs, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota calls it food synergy, and he, along with many other nutritionists, believes it might explain why Italians drizzle cold-pressed olive oil over tomatoes and why the Japanese pair raw fish with soybeans. "The complexity of food combinations is fascinating because it's tested in a way we can't test drugs: by evolution," says Jacobs. And, he adds, "it's tested...
