Over the next five years, National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded researchers will extensively test and generate data about mice with disrupted genes to gain clues about human diseases. NIH today awarded a set of cooperative agreements totaling more than $110 million to begin the second phase of the Knockout Mouse Project (KOMP).

The San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) Cloud is connected to 10 other supercomputer sites nationwide on the high-speed TeraGrid network.

The thumb-size pico-projector's micro mirror is fabricated in the center of a thumbnail-size MEMS chip

In trials of the future, IBM’s Watson could appear on witness stands and in judges’ chambers.

Blom is excited to bring a new product to INTERGEO 2011; BlomSTREET™ - Powered by Cyclomedia. On stand D43 of Hall 7, Blom will be demonstrating how geographically accurate street level spherical images, complete with metric capabilities, are an essential tool for street asset inventory, situational awareness for emergency services and responders, and road and waterworks, amongst others.

IBM and 3M are developing a new type of adhesive (blue) that can glue together up to 100 microchips into stacks of semiconductors that realize 3D electronics 1,000 times more powerful than today's flat, planar chips.

It is possible to infer a future, possibly higher state of the human mind when man has willingly left behind the "baby talk" of such practices as contemporary mathematics. That end of the practice of a monetarist's virtual baby-talk, will come when that termination of childish myths of money per se was done in order to enter a higher state of intellectual life, a higher state in which the folly of present academic habits of reductionism has been abandoned. By that reference, I signify a physical space-time conceived as a domain of cosmic radiation, a domain which is adopted in its recognized use as a revolution in the notion of the function which brings speech closer to a universality of a higher system presently implied in its presently Classical system of harmonics in composition in the schools of Johann Sebastian Bach, and in such among his devoted heirs as those named Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Verdi, and Brahms.

The most significant example met in the early phases of modern physical science, is that echo of the method which was introduced by Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa (A.D. 1401-1464), and as later found in the discovery of the physical principle of Solar Astronomy which is expressed in the type of case implicitly posed in the present Foreword's preceding remarks on the subject-matters of ontology.

Thus, respecting what I have said here thus far: my authority respecting the subject-matters which I treat throughout this present report, rests upon my fairly unique record of successes as a forecaster of crises and kindred classes of phenomena in modern economy. This is especially so respecting leading cases from among the trans-Atlantic economies, up through relevant recent times, since 1956-7. The distinctions to be made on that specific account, are to be considered case by case, in one sense, as quantitative, but, taken, in another sense, as a series of relevant, critical events, which are qualitative, thus matching the character of expressions of a physical-scientific principle.

What we know of the process of the direction of development of human life as it is illustrated by the definition of man as the expression of Academician V.I. Vernadsky's conception of a Noösphere, is a model for revolutionary progress of the human species within our galaxy, a model which must be projected as a future advance in the human condition comparable to the kind of process of progress which Vernadsky's work has, implicitly predefined.
