Scientists envision remote-controlled humans.

It"s a disturbing thought: being able to remotely control the way a person moves at the push of a button. But scientists have already managed to do just that - although not with the same repertoire of complex movements as, say, a practiced nine-year-old controlling a toy race car. Scientists in Australia, Japan, and the United States are trying to develop more refined ways of stimulating the brain"s balance organ - not just to influence movement, but also to create more realistic virtual reality simulations, as well as medical prosthetics to help people with balance disorders.

Carbon Sheets Could Save Earth's Limited Indium Supply.
Mainz (Germany) - It is estimated that there is only a 10 years supply of indium left on the entire planet. Indium is a crucial resource in creating solar cells, LCD and other devices which must have transparent electrodes to carry out their function. However, a new discovery related to single atomic layer sheets of carbon (graphene) could prove to be a better replacement, according to researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research in Germany.

Intel To Add More Segments In Its Naming Scheme For Montevina CPUs.
Intel"s has decided to extent the original naming scheme for its mobile CPUs and will add a P segment to CPUs targeting notebooks and an S class for small form factor PC CPUs to its upcoming Montevina range, which is scheduled to launch in June this year, according to sources at PC makers. Intel originally had four segments to separate the TDP levels of its notebook CPUs: X for the extreme segment, CPUs that have a TDP over 40W, T for mobile high-performance at 20-39W, L for mobile high energy efficient at 12-19W, and U for mobile ultra-high energy efficient with a TDP less or equal to 11.9W.
