...most opinionated harrumphs, and this year the SED flat-panel technology developed by Toshiba and Canon was at the center of scrutiny. Billed as the technology that could bring down plasma, SED takes the idea of conventional cathode-ray-tube televisions and miniaturizes it: instead of one big electron gun exciting all the phosphors on a screen in sequence, millions of little electrical nodes do the same thing simultaneously. The result is picture contrast and response time that outstrip plasma and LCD with a much lower power drain. Toshiba says that production costs over time could make SED TVs relatively...
...after WW II. Ottaviani and Purvis take care to explain the concepts behind Bohr's multiple scientific breakthroughs, making the book a kind of illustrated primer on atomic physics. It was Bohr, for example, who proposed a model of the atom as a kind of mini solar system, with electrons orbiting around a nucleus. But this had its limits, both experimentally and "philosophically." So he moved to introduce Quantum Mechanics as a system of atomic theories best known for its postulation that the act of observing something affects the results of that observation. An electron, for example, which exhibits behaviors...

...career, playing these same mildly-pleasant melodies is nothing short of redundant. The single “Leaving New York” paints a sepulchral image with a sweeping chorus that uses Stipe’s vocals to the fullest. It, alongside the oppressively peppy “Electron Blue,” which comes off somewhere between Radiohead and a Celtic James Taylor, makes up the album’s creative peak. But their striving for innovation leads them astray on “The Outsiders,” a bizarre didactic tale featuring some weird, tangentially connected...
That's why there has been so much attention given lately to a noninvasive test called electron beam computed tomography (EBCT). It uses a burst of X rays to show how much calcium has been deposited in the coronary arteries--a good measure of how much plaque has accumulated there. In a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, more than half of 1,119 patients who passed their stress tests had high calcium scores in subsequent EBCTs, suggesting significant hardening of the arteries...
