HDMI 1.4: Internet Sharing, More Pixels and Ridiculous New Cables
Somebody got a little too eager to share the good word about HDMI 1.4, since PCMag's original story has vanished. Short version: 100Mbps internet, higher resolution (4,096x2160@30Hz) and stupid, stupid new cable BS. The 100Mbps data deal happens through HDMI Ethernet Channel (HEC) which will let in
Homemade Experiments with Aerogel, the World's Lightest Solid
Jason Wells got to toy around with a few blocks of Aerogel, the fantastically light (and fantastically expensive) material made famous by its use as insulation in NASA spacecraft like the Mars Rover. Using just everyday materials from his house, he managed to test the futuristic product's strength,
BAMF2010: SolarPump Charging Station
Amidst the noise of a bazillion robots and Tesla coils at the 2010 Bay Area Maker Faire, we located a bubble of usable WiFi, and got a nearby power charge to boot. If nothing else here, we want this: The SolarPump Charging Station is a self-contained oasis of free power for laptops, cel phone
Novatel's Portable MiFi Does 3G Wi-Fi in a Beautiful Package
Today, Novatel introduced a portable 3G hotspot router, the sleek and minimalistic MiFi, which transforms 3G internet access into a Wi-Fi hotspot wherever it goes to multiple users. In addition to being a portable internet hotspot, the MiFi also allows for VPN support, custom landing pages, automat
India Developing 'Kill Vehicle' to Knock Enemy Satellites Out of the Sky
With perennial foe Pakistan always teetering on the brink of political collapse and neighboring superpower China taking strides into space technology, India has announced that it is developing an exo-atmospheric "kill vehicle" that will knock enemy satellites out of orbit. The program was pro
Fusion-io ioDrive Is The Fastest Storage Device in the World
The ioDrive is a PCI Express storage card that can write at up to 368 MB/s and read at 473 MB/s to its NAND flash memory—or, for the layman: really, really damn fast. To put it into perspective, that's nearly 2x the read speed of Intel's already fast SSDs, and roughly 5x the write speed. TheScientists Make First Paper-Based Transistor

A team at Universidade Nova de Lisboa in Portugal have produced the world’s first field-effect transistor based on paper. The paper layer acts as an “interstrate”, with the actual FET components being fabricated onto both sides: so the paper holds the transistor together and acts as an insulator. Amazingly in tests the paper transistor performed better than amorphous silicon transistors and even approaches the performance of state-of-the-art oxide thin-film transistors. Why is this interesting news? Mainly since paper is a lower-cost substrate than silicon, so this invention opens the way for cheap, or even disposable, paper displays, smart labels, RFID technology… basically expect more ubiquitous technology integration in future products.
