From Octopus Eye to Tiny Camera
Tags: Case Western Reserve University, Eric Baer, Naval Research Laboratory, Tiny CameraThanks to inspiration from an octopus, fuzzy images from your cell-phone camera could soon be a thing of the past. Case Western Reserve University professor Eric Baer and a team he’s working with at the Naval Research Laboratory have developed a low-cost, single plastic lens that could match the quality of expensive lenses used in cameras. And soon, the lens will also be flexible — allowing people to zoom in and out by giving it a squeeze.
NASA Salutes Successful Huygens Probe
“The descent through Titan’s atmosphere and down to its surface appeared to be perfect,” Administrator O’Keefe said. “We congratulate ESA for their spectacular success.”
Another small step in W’s plan to populate and exploit the moon. First other planet’s moons and then our own.

The “Get Smart” campaign features a series of print and radio ads meant to raise awareness about proper antibiotic use and to correct mistaken perceptions that antibiotics cure everything.
“Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can cause some bacteria to become resistant to the antibiotics,” Dr. Richard Besser, director of the campaign, said in a prepared statement.
Do you want to make an impact on the grotesque overuse of antibiotics which will invariably lead/has led to a super-germ(s)? Take the antibiotics out of our cattle’s feed! This is a no-brainer.

Tags: California, Indian Ocean, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Richard GrossThe deadly Asian earthquake may have permanently accelerated the Earth’s rotation — shortening days by a fraction of a second — and caused the planet to wobble on its axis, U.S. scientists said on Tuesday.
Richard Gross, a geophysicist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, theorized that a shift of mass toward the Earth’s center during the quake on Sunday caused the planet to spin 3 microseconds, or 3 millionths of a second, faster and to tilt about an inch on its axis.
When one huge tectonic plate beneath the Indian Ocean was forced below the edge of another “it had the effect of making the Earth more compact and spinning faster,” Gross said.
