Linux and Android, Together at Last

Linux and Android are two closely linked open-source projects, but they've been as notable for how distant they are from each other--until yesterday. That's when Linus Torvalds, leader of the Linux kernel project, released a version of the operating system core that bridges between the two worlds

Rains Let Loose Land Mines, Shut Peru-Chile Border

LIMA (Reuters) - Flooding rivers in Peru and Chile have ruined houses, displaced people, and turned up something more sinister: land mines, which closed the border between the two countries on Monday. Heavy summer rains, which meteorologists attribute to a series of low pressure systems that originated in the southern Atlantic Ocean this month, have wiped out crops in Peru and swollen rivers in northern Chile. Anti-personnel and anti-tank mines laid around Chile's Lluta river watershed in the 1970s, when tensions ran high between the two countries, have also surfaced, officials said

Deep Frog Voice Signals His Chromosome Number

The eastern grey tree frog [sound] looks exactly like the closely related Cope’s grey tree frog [sound]. The big difference between the two species is beneath the surface--the eastern has twice the number of chromosomes as does the Cope’s. [More]

Two seemingly unrelated phenomena share surprising link: Physicists gain new insight into solitons

(PhysOrg.com) -- A coupled line of swinging pendulums apparently has nothing in common with an elastic film that buckles and folds under compression while floating on a liquid, but scientists at the University of Chicago and Tel Aviv University have discovered a deep connection between the two phenomena.

When Communities Identify Their Own Poor, Aid Has The Most Effect

By asking peers to decide who deserves the most government aid--instead of using empirical measurements--money can have more lasting effects. When governments and NGOs plan on giving assistance to the most needy, how do they know who needs the most assistance? It's a question people are at great pains to answer, yet social welfare programs around the world are still plagued by error and abuse

Sequencing Kids’ Genomes To Learn How Cancer Grows

Complete Genomics is taking a look at the genomes of 1,000 children to get a better picture of how to understand and treat pediatric cancer. Ever since we sequenced the first human genome, projects that involve delving into genes have exploded--scientists even recently just sequenced marijuana's genome . Now, a new project aims to look at some slightly younger genes

Entanglement between macroscopic objects generated by dissipation

(PhysOrg.com) -- When generating entanglement between two objects, physicists typically try to minimize the objects’ interactions with the environment, since this interaction causes decoherence. But contrary to this thinking, scientists in a new study have experimentally demonstrated that dissipation caused by interaction with the environment can continuously generate entanglement between two macroscopic objects (two ensembles of cesium atoms containing about 1 trillion atoms all together).

Near-infrared imaging system shows promise as future pancreatic cancer diagnostic tool

A team of researchers from four Boston-area institutions led by Nicusor Iftimia from Physical Sciences, Inc. has demonstrated for the first time that optical coherence tomography (OCT), a high resolution optical imaging technique that works by bouncing near-infrared laser light off biological tissue, can reliably distinguish between pancreatic cysts that are low-risk and high-risk for becoming malignant. Other optical techniques often fail to provide images that are clear enough for doctors to differentiate between the two types.

Physicists demonstrate a time cloaking device

Physicists Moti Fridman and colleagues at Cornell University have successfully demonstrated a so-called time cloaking device that is able to “hide” time for 15 trillionths of a second. In a paper published on arXiv, the researchers describe how they were able to cause light passing through a fiber optic cable to compress, than decompress, causing a hole or void to exist, long enough for there to be a lag between the two.
