And, with the forthcoming 3D Blu-ray specification expected to be formally announced later this year, NVIDIA announces that the amazing 3D experience that has proven so popular in movie theaters is about to come home. http://www.physorg.com/news179763158.html Electronics Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:50:06 EST news179763158 Tiny magnetic discs just a millionth of a metre in diameter could be used to used to kill cancer cells, according to a study published on Sunday. http://www.physorg.com/news178725200.html Nanotechnology Sun, 29 Nov 2009 13:59:24 EST news178725200 (PhysOrg.com) -- Sharp Corporation has announced the development of a new 500 mW semiconductor laser for triple- and quadruple- layer Blu-ray discs. http://www.physorg.com/news172481493.html Technology Fri, 18 Sep 2009 10:10:01 EST news172481493 There's really no excuse for not backing up your computer these days. Used to be that making a backup was a fairly complex task. But today's backup offerings make it pretty much a no-brainer. In the recent months, I've written about several of the newest backup methods and products that make backing up a breeze. I'd like to add one more I recently discovered that adds an interesting twist to the job. http://www.physorg.com/news170616082.html Electronics Thu, 27 Aug 2009 21:30:01 EST news170616082 Researchers of the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Germany, have gained crucial insight into how mechanosensitivity arises. By measuring electrical impulses in the sensory neurons of mice, the neurobiologists and pain researchers Dr. Stefan G. Lechner and Professor Gary Lewin were able to directly elucidate, for the first time, the emergence of mechanosensitivity. At the same time they were able to show that neurons develop their sensitivity to touch and pain during different developmental phases but always coincidentally with the growth of the neuronal pathways.

Researchers have designed a five-dimensional DVD that can store 1.6 terabytes of data on a standard-size DVD, which is the equivalent of about 30 Blu-ray discs. The 5D DVDs could also be compatible with current DVD disc-drive technology. http://www.physorg.com/news162138048.html Physics Thu, 21 May 2009 15:21:30 EST news162138048 Scientists unveiled new DVD technology on Wednesday that stores data in five dimensions, making it possible to pack more than 2,000 movies onto a single disc. http://www.physorg.com/news162044616.html Nanotechnology Wed, 20 May 2009 13:24:10 EST news162044616 (PhysOrg.com) -- G.E. has unveiled a 500 GB micro-holographic disc that is the same size as existing DVD's. The storage capacity is equivalent to 100 DVD's and is aimed at the archive industry but eventually can be used in the consumer market place. http://www.physorg.com/news160061435.html Electronics Mon, 27 Apr 2009 14:30:58 EST news160061435 (AP) -- Online DVD rental leader Netflix Inc. is raising its prices for Blu-ray discs in a change that will triple or quadruple the high-definition surcharge on Netflix's most popular subscription plans. http://www.physorg.com/news157646171.html Electronics Mon, 30 Mar 2009 15:36:35 EST news157646171 Astronomers have been able to study planet-forming discs around young Sun-like stars in unsurpassed detail, clearly revealing the motion and distribution of the gas in the inner parts of the disc. This result, which possibly implies the presence of giant planets, was made possible by the combination of a very clever method enabled by ESO's Very Large Telescope. http://www.physorg.com/news140093172.html Space & Earth Mon, 08 Sep 2008 11:46:12 EST news140093172 Pioneer Corporation has succeeded in developing a 16-layer read-only optical disc with a capacity of 400 gigabytes for the first time in the world. http://www.physorg.com/news134658365.html Technology Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:06:05 EST news134658365
