Virtual reality offering a new dimension to surgery

From gaming technology to the operating table, virtual reality and augmented reality are becoming valuable tools in surgical procedures and healthcare. When delivering bad news, you may not expect a neurosurgeon to ask you to wear a headset and grab a gaming controller – but doing so is proving an effective part of pre-surgical consultations. Virtual reality (VR) is easing anxiety for patients facing neurosurgery. Placed in a virtual world of 3D, computer-generated graphics, neurosurgeons can take a ‘tour’ of an individual’s brain, using the headset to view a 3D

Carbon fascination endures in nanoscience – Physics World

The stand for Carbon, a 3D-printing company, at Nanotech 2019. As the International Year of the Periodic Table launched in Paris, France, last week, a celebration of the technology enabled by advances in nanoscience drew crowds to the Big Sight conference centre in Tokyo, Japan. Investigations of features at the nanoscale have brought new properties and behaviour to light for a number of elemental groups and classes, but the element with an incomparable track record of ceaseless reinventions is carbon. Carbon future tech As the element underpinning the whole of

Hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Aero-gallium nitride is both – Physics World

The dual hydrophobic–hydrophilic behaviour of the new material. Researchers have made the first ever highly porous, mechanically flexible and stretchable inorganic nanomaterial that is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic at the same time. The material, which consists of interpenetrating hollow gallium nitride tetrapods, has similar properties to a biological cell membrane and it could find use in applications such as sensors, microfluidic devices and microrobotics. Biological cell membranes are made up of phospholipid building blocks that both attract and repel water. Phospholipids are hydrophilic thanks to their polar phosphate group “heads”

Deep learning improves optical storage – Physics World

Nanophotonic optical storage. (Courtesy: P Wiecha, CEMES) A new ultrahigh-density optical storage technology that can store up to nine bits of information per diffraction-limited area that works thanks to a deep learning approach has been put forward by researchers in Toulouse in France. The technology overcomes the physical constraints of compact disks (CDs), DVDs and Blu-ray disks, which can only store one bit per diffraction-limited area. It is based on silicon and could thus be produced on a large scale using mass-market-ready complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The storage capacity of

Porous crystals: pNT molecules aligned in parallel in a crystal. Credit: 2019 Hiroyuki Isobe “We were shocked to see the crystal structure of the molecule,” says Hiroyuki Isobe, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Tokyo, Japan, as he describes his latest work to synthesize phenine nanotubes (pNTs). The nanotubes are analogues of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) – rolled up sheets of honeycomb carbon lattice whose discovery by Sumio Ijima in 1990 generated sustained excitement for decades. In pNTs Isobe and collaborators at the University of

The Importance of Developing the Decentralized Finance Space

The rapid growth of the decentralized finance space, the rise in demand, the improvement of its protocols, and the breadth of offered services and opportunities will provide retail users with the options they are sorely lacking in the existing financial system. And it will enable institutions to move real-world assets onto the blockchain, generating untold cost-savings and improved efficiencies.But it doesn’t have to be a violent revolution. DeFi doesn’t necessarily need to overthrow the incumbent system. I believe that DeFi will complement traditional finance, force it to do better, and,

Why Chinese Miners Won’t Stage a 51% Attack on Bitcoin

China accounts for more than half of the world’s Bitcoin mining capacity but Jameson Lopp, the co-founder and CTO of Casa, has hosed down fears that Chinese miners are a threat to Bitcoin in a blog post on Aug. 9.Although many people have raised concerns over the concentration of such much hashpower being located in China, Loop pointed out that even in the event of a 51% attack on Bitcoin, attackers are limited in what they can actually do. He explained that attackers can't steal people's Bitcoin arbitrarily, nor change the consensus
