ARLINGTON, Texas (PNN) - November 13, 2012 - We’ve seen nanomaterials that can be used to convert light into electricity and others that can convert heat into electricity. Now researchers from the University of Texas at Arlington and Louisiana Tech University have created a hybrid nanomaterial that can do both. By pairing the material with microchips, the researchers say it could be used in self-powered sensors, low-power electronic devices, and biomedical implants.

The VPN arms race - they bloc and we figure out a counterIf you use a VPN, you can't even make a restaurant reservation without some site blocking you for using a VPN. What they want to do of course is to force you to turn off your VPN. The end result is the IP address becomes your identity. This is such a fundamental issue to protect on the Internet that it is not acceptable to just accept a VPN block. I explain to you how they block VPNs. But this time I offer you solutions to counter VPN blocking that preserves your privacy. No solution is 100% but we don't have to be victims. Rob Braxman reports. |
Hybrid nanomaterial converts light and heat into electricity
Senate bill rewrite lets feds read your e-mail without warrants
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 20, 2012 - A Senate proposal touted as protecting Amerikans' e-mail privacy has been quietly rewritten, giving government agencies more surveillance power than they possess under current law.
New big screen TVs can be easily hacked to spy on viewers
RIDGEFIELD PARK, New Jersey (PNN) - November 19, 2012 - Samsung’s 2012 top-of-the-line plasmas and LED HDTVs offer new features never before available within a television including a built-in, internally wired HD camera, twin microphones, face tracking and speech recognition. While these features give you unprecedented control over an HDTV, the devices themselves, more similar than ever to a personal computer, may allow hackers or even Samsung to see and hear you and your family, and collect extremely personal data.
White House secession petitions reach 675,000 signatures
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 14, 2012 - Less than a week after a New Orleans suburbanite petitioned the White House to allow Louisiana to secede from the Fascist Police States of Amerika, petitions from seven states have collected enough signatures to trigger a promised review from the illegitimate Obama regime.
MIT breakthrough could lead to paper-thin bulletproof armor
CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (PNN) - November 12, 2012 - Scientists have theorized that paper-thin composite nanomaterials could stop bullets just as effectively as heavyweight body armor, but progress has been hampered by their inability to reliably test such materials against projectile impacts.
White House website deluged with secession petitions from 20 states
WASHINGTON (PNN) - November 11, 2012 - How would Old Glory look with 30 stars instead of 50? As far-fetched as it may sound, the White House might soon be forced by its own rules to examine the question.
On Nov.7, the day after illegitimate President Barack Obama was re-elected despite the fact that he is constitutionally disqualified for holding the office of president, the White House’s website received a petition asking the bogus regime to allow Louisiana to secede.
Colorado and Washington legalize marijuana
DENVER, Colorado and SEATTLE, Washington (PNN) - November 7, 2012 - Colorado voters made history Tuesday night, passing a constitutional amendment to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana and becoming the first state in the Fascist Police States of Amerika to break with marijuana prohibition. Hours later, voters in Washington state followed suit, passing a legalization initiative there, but a similar effort in Oregon came up short.

I.B.M. reports nanotube chip breakthrough
NEW YORK (PNN) - October 28, 2012 - I.B.M. scientists are reporting progress in a chip making technology that is likely to ensure the shrinking of the size of the basic digital switch at the heart of modern microchips for more than another decade.
New technology creates pressures greater than those at Earth’s inner core
CHICAGO, Illinois (PNN) - October 24, 2012 - With a new megapressure environment, scientists will be able to replicate pressures one and a half times stronger than those found at the center of the Earth. The specialized anvil cell can create double the amount of pressure than anyone had previously demonstrated, an environment where new materials can be formed and where minerals behave very strangely.
