...longer tours of duty. The current level of 160,000 troops could be cut in half by next summer. "The future of our military is at risk," Murtha said in his emotional press conference, accurately reflecting the views of the uniformed brass. "Our military and their families are stretched thin. Many say that the Army is broken. Some of our troops are on their third deployment...
...Learn More: hydroepic.com After decades of riding waves on boards made of foam and fiberglass, surfers have a high-tech alternative. Hydro Epic boards are hollow on the inside but have an extra-sturdy shell made of a carbon fiber-Kevlar composite and a thin aluminum honeycomb. To keep the air in the board from expanding and contracting in extreme heat or at high altitudes, there is a small vent at one end that lets air pass through while keeping water out. The radical design makes Hydro Epics stronger, faster and up to 30% lighter (the short board weighs...
...image quality. The SeaLife DC500 captures ultrasharp, high-resolution pictures and overcomes underwater photography challenges including poor light, waterborne particles and quick-moving subjects. And it's good for a deep dive. The camera is waterproof down to 200 ft. and also has six modes for land. Next Product: Thin Skins...
...Thin Blue Line HIV testing has come a long way since the mid-1990s, when patients had to wait as long as two weeks to learn whether they were HIV-positive and were given the news--which could be a death sentence--by a doctor, a nurse or a trained counselor. Now AIDS can be effectively treated with antiretroviral drugs, and FDA approval seems imminent for the first over-the-counter HIV test for use in the home: the OraQuick Advance. With a swab of saliva taken from the gums, the kit (currently sold to doctors and clinics for about...
Harvard researchers have found new ways of assembling nanowires—ultra-thin wires that have the potential to revolutionize electronics—and a new application of the technology that may make over-the-counter cancer tests available in drugstores in the near future. Ritesh Agarwal, a former Harvard postdoctoral associate, published a paper this week in Optics Express on a new technique for assembling and arranging nanowires, which are smaller than any circuitry currently available, even on microchips. The ability to construct specific, three-dimensional, nano-scale devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week...
