...quer?a que estuvieran con sus mantillas rez?ndole a la virgen de Guadalupe?, dice Vald?s-Rodr?guez, de ascendencia cubana e irlandesa. ?Esa no es mi realidad?. Vald?s-Rodr?guez naci? hace 36 a?os a una familia de clase media en Albuquerque, NM, y hoy vive con su esposo e hijo peque?o. Tiene un m?ster en periodismo de Columbia University y trabaj? como reportera para el Los Angeles Times y el Boston Globe. La perspectiva de Vald?s-Rodr?guez sobre la vida latina de EE.UU. ha encontrado una diversa audiencia. Dirty Girls ha vendido m?s de 350,000 ejemplares y est? en preparativos para...
...Meanwhile, at Courtis' urging, CNOOC's board insisted on hiring an outside investment bank?NM Rothschild & Sons?and an energy consulting firm to do their own independent evaluation of the deal, in the hope that the board and Fu might eventually find some common ground. But Schurtenberger wasn't going to stick around for the results. On April 4, he submitted his resignation from the board in writing, citing health reasons. (He has had prostate cancer for many years.) When Courtis failed to appear on the dais at the annual shareholders' meeting the next month in Hong Kong, it caused...
...year, Nantero expects to produce a commercial prototype for a chip with "nonvolatile random-access memory" (NRAM), which means its chips won't forget how to run all its programs when the power is switched off. The technology uses arrays of 2-nm strands of carbon atoms, called carbon nanotubes, that convey electrons faster than copper and are 100 times as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight. Pairs of tubes store data by locking together when a current runs through them and stay together even when the computer power is switched off and back on. The tubes...
Because of the current size of these catalyst particles, about 10 nm, and their tendency to clump together, platinum is not used efficiently. The world's entire annual output of platinum would not meet the demand if fuel cells were used by only 10% of cars produced worldwide. Hydrocarbon Technologies--which is owned by Headwaters, an alternative-energy company based in Draper, Utah--says it has found a way to create nanoscale platinum particles that won't clump together and slow down the process, as current ones do. The new particles are expected to keep fuel cells running...
