As some vendors struggle to define the 3-D interface within the confines of today’s tools, visionaries are moving beyond conventional boundaries. The Immersive Cocoon is a carbon fiber shell that surrounds the user in a 360o display. Users enter navigate the virtual spaces on the display through body motions based on technology from John Underkoffler, a former fellow of MIT’s media lab. Underkoffler’s research inspired the interface popularized by the movie “Minority Report” and allows users to move objects through hand and arm gestures or alternative speech commands. Explore the Mayan temples. Travel to Distant Galaxies or just workout back at home. The applications for the Immersive Cocoon are numerous. Online book shoppers will be able to grab a... ...

This one may be a freebie, but it has a good foundation to become a decent game. The good: It's a space shooter with very decent graphics, large, fairly complex levels, a multitude of enemies, power-ups to make your ship stronger, decent animation and video effects, and a decent flow. It also has mappable controls to ensure playability across a wide range of devices. ... Source: sci.esa.int --- 48 days ago
XMM-Newton has discovered a rare, very massive cluster of Galaxies at a distance of about 7700 million light years (or z~1). The object, designated 2XMM J083026+524133, was discovered during a systematic analysis of the 2XMM X-ray source catalogue. In a paper, to appear in Astronomy & Astrophysics, Georg Lamer and colleagues present the discovery and analysis of this exceptional cluster of Galaxies. ... Source: clipmarks.com --- 11 days ago
clipped by: merrie clipper's remarks: Returning to Belgium in 1925, where he worked at the Catholic University of Leuven as a part-time lecturer, his big break came two years later in 1927 when he proposed his theory of an expanding Universe to explain the movement of the Galaxies, published in the Annals of the Scientific Society of Brussels. Lemaitre was still pretty hazy about how the process of expansion could have begun. Like many scientists, he was still committed to the idea of a static Universe of unchanging size... Einstein, though interested, was largely dismissive, telling Lemaitre that, "Your calculations are good, but your physics is terrible". Einstein was also a little suspicious of the religious implications of these ideas. He declined to describe himself as an atheist (or a theist, or a pantheist) and liked to use the vocabulary of religion, most famously in his misguided rejection of much of quantum physics, "God does not play dice!" British physicist, Fred Hoyle coined the Big Bang term Clip Source: www.americanchronicle.com In addition to discovering these Galaxies, Hubble also discovered something significant about them. Just as the pitch of a siren on an emergency vehicle changes as it drives past us - because the length of the sound waves change as they become more Distant according to the Doppler effect - so too the light from Distant objects can tell us whether they are moving closer or drifting away.

clipped by: CHBaab Clip Source: imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov Until recently, GRBs were arguably the biggest mystery in high-energy astronomy . They were discovered serendipitously in the late 1960s by U.S. military satellites which were on the look out for Soviet nuclear testing in violation of the atmospheric nuclear test ban treaty. These satellites carried gamma ray detectors since a nuclear explosion produces gamma rays. As recently as the early 1990s, astronomers didn't even know if GRBs originated at the edge of our solar system, in our Milky Way Galaxy or incredibly far away near the edge of the observable Universe. (That is, they didn't know how far away GRBs were to within a factor of a few billion light years !) But now a slew of satellite observations, follow-up ground-based observations, and theoretical work have allowed astronomers to link GRBs to supernovae in Distant Galaxies. ...

For the first time ever, scientists have captured an spiral galaxy in its early stages of formation, only two billion years after the Big Bang. This time, however, they haven't used the magic Hubble , but the ten-metre Keck telescope in Hawaii helped by the strangest zoom lenses I've ever heard about: Gravitational lensing, what astronomers call a Cosmic Eye. A Cosmic Eye is a unique configuration of Galaxies in the sky, with one galaxy in the foreground and the other in the background, giving it the appearance of an eye in space. The foreground galaxy— in this case the yellow one, 2.2 billion light years from Earth—acts as the lenses thanks to its gravitational field, which bends the light coming from the background galaxy—in blue, 11 billion light years from Earth. This distortion effect, which was predicted by Einstein theories, has enlarged the early spiral galaxy by eight times. The technique gives an idea of what would be possible with the next generation of telescopes—the European Extremely Large Telescope and the American Thirty Metre Telescope.

clipped by: pokkets clipper's remarks: Quantum Variable polarization Clip Source: www.abc.net.au Dani Cooper Scientists are using new laser technology to improve the precision of telescopes, bringing the dream of watching the expansion of the universe in real time within reach. Improvements in the accuracy of telescope calibration may open a universe of experiments to astronomers (Source: European Space Agency and NASA) Published in the latest edition of Science , the researchers, including Swinburne University astronomer Dr Michael Murphy, show how a laser frequency comb can be used to calibrate an infra-red telescope. This will allow astronomers to more precisely measure features of Distant Galaxies and stars. The comb was developed by co-author Professor Theodor Hansch, of the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics who is a joint winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize for Physics for the technology. The comb emits pulses of light several femtoseconds in duration (a quadrillionth of a second) across a range of regularly spaced wavelengths. ...
