How to Make a Microprocessor
This is a live demonstration from the 2008 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures illustrating the concept of photo reduction, by projecting the initials of a volunteer onto a grain of rice. This technique forms the basis for photolithography which is used to manufacture microprocessors.
You can watch the 2008 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures in full at: http://research.microsoft.com/~cmbishop or by visiting the Royal Institution web site.
There is a dedicated web site to accompany the 2008 Christmas Lectures, with ten interactive games as well as downloadable PDF instructions for experiments which can be conducted at home or at school: http://www.rigb.org/christmaslectures08

A rare and fascinating conversation with one of the most innovative semiconductor pioneers and esteemed business leaders of our time.
Born in Ningbo (Zhejiang province), China, in 1931, Dr. Morris Chang is the founding chairman of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. (TSMC), a revolutionary enterprise he founded in 1987.
TSMC is a dedicated silicon foundry, an independent factory available to anyone for producing integrated circuits. Using this approach, both entrepreneurs and established semiconductor companies could avoid having to build their own semiconductor factories and focus instead on circuit features and system-level product design as the source of value.
From 1958 to 1983, Chang worked at Texas Instruments (TI), rising to group vice president for its worldwide semiconductor business. Under Chang's leadership, TI emerged as the world's leading producer of integrated circuits. During his tenure the company also pioneered high-volume production of consumer products including calculators, digital watches, and the popular "Speak & Spell" electronic toy.
In 1983, Chang left TI to become president and chief operating officer at General Instrument Corporation. After a year at General Instrument, Chang was recruited by the Taiwanese government to spearhead that country's industrial research organization, the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). While there, he focused on issues relating to using technology to advance Taiwan's larger social and economic goals. It was in this capacity that Chang founded TSMC.
In 1998, Chang was named by Business Week magazine as one of the Top 25 Managers of the Year and one of the Stars of Asia. In 2000, he received the IEEE Robert N. Noyce Award for exceptional contributions to the microelectronics industry. In 2005, he won the Nikkei Asia Prize for Regional Growth. On October 16, 2007, Chang will be inducted as a Fellow of the Computer History Museum.
Chang is a Life Member Emeritus of MIT Corporation, a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, and serves on the advisory boards of the New York Stock Exchange, Stanford University, and the University of California at Berkeley.
Chang holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering from M.I.T. (1952, 1953), and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Stanford University (1964). He also holds honorary doctorates from seven universities.
This talk was with Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder, president and CEO of NVIDIA Corporation.

What's next for SIM cards?
Telenor's Fritjof Bogner Engelhardtsen and Sun's James Gosling look at a new experimental development platform for SIM cards. The Java platform allows programmers to design new mobile services including adding sensors and Wi-Fi radio directly on the car
A bright idea for wasteful office lighting
Commercial office buildings are one of the main culprits of the current climate crisis. They consume large amounts of electricity and release excessive carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Adura Technologies has developed a mesh-based lighting system that is reducing costs and consumption inside buildings. The technology consists of wireless radios that plug into florescent light fixtures giving employees more control over their personal lighting space. Adura has also created a dual motion sensing-personal control system that is being used at UC Berkeley that allows students to break the hard-wired connection and control their lighting from their desktop PCs.

Sweden: A concept country for clean-tech development
At the Nordic Green conference in Menlo Park, Calif., Olov Hemstrom of the Swedish Trade Council discusses the history of Sweden's drive to go green. He says government and business officials decided on a concept called SymbioCity, where various city functions from waste-water management to landscape and urban planning are all interconnected into one integrated system. Hemstrom is hopeful the practices tested in Sweden over the past 30 years can be applied to cities within the U.S.
With HealthMap, real-time global data surveillance of H1N1 outbreak
With HealthMap, real-time global data surveillance of H1N1 outbreak
By Andrew Nusca | May 10, 2010 | 1 Comment
http://healthmap.org/en/
When the H1N1 virus began spreading in April 2009, a tool created by the informatics program at Children’s Hospital Boston was able to track it in real-time.
The automated tool, called HealthMap, plotted information about the virus outbreak on a map of the globe as it occurred.
The interactive map showed how Internet technology can support the traditional public health infrastructure and help disseminate information quickly.
The HealthMap infrastructure was used to track suspected or confirmed cases or deaths, as well as cases ruled out or not identified as H1N1, based on formal and informal reports, from the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control to news reports and blog activity.
Between April 1 and Dec. 31 2009, researchers analyzed more than 87,000 reports, revealing in retrospect insight to the epidemiology of H1N1 spread around the world, such as how quickly the virus spread, where and how.
The researchers also calculated the time elapsed between suspected and confirmed cases of H1N1 by country, finding a “significant” relationship between a country’s national gross domestic product and its robustness of public health infrastructure.
“We found that countries with high GDP demonstrated a short lag in reporting and were confirming cases in a few days, whereby countries with low GDP could experience lags of up to 85 days,” said John Brownstein, co-founder of HealthMap and a professor at the hospital.
According to the research, several factors contributed to lagging information during the pandemic:
Deficiencies in public health infrastructures.
Political pressures (trade, tourism).
Intense media coverage, which spurred many folks to get tested unnecessarily at the onset.
“Syndromic surveillance” is the seed of what could become real-time surveillance of health data — from Lyme disease to rabies to E. coli to influenza — using electronic medical records.
The challenge: ensuring that people and nations sign up for electronic health records and make that information readily available.
