Beyond that all we see is uncharted water. Past the end of the pier lies all the mystery about our deeply strange existence: the equivalence of mass and energy, dark matter, multiple spatial dimensions, how to build consciousness, and the big questions of meaning and existence.

For self-healing concrete, just add bacteria and food - tech - 01 September 2010 - New Scientist

For self-healing concrete, just add bacteria and food - tech - 01 September 2010 - New Scientist: "Like living bone, concrete could soon be healing its own hairline fractures – with bacteria in the role of osteoblast cells. Worked into the concrete from the beginning, these water-activated bacteria would munch food provided in the mix to patch up cracks and small holes."

Wonder conductors will spin up cooler computers - tech - 01 September 2010 - New Scientist

Wonder conductors will spin up cooler computers - tech - 01 September 2010 - New Scientist: "In the past five years, physicists have uncovered a new kind of material that can keep electrons on the straight and narrow, eliminating collisions and slashing the amount of heat produced. Called topological insulators, these materials conduct electricity by harnessing a quantum-mechanical property of electrons called spin."
