Gonna try and do one of these monthly for about a year or so. Will mostly be Nanotech oriented, may leak over into neuroscience developments from time to time.

So, How close are we to grey-gooing ourselves? Let’s try to find out together, shall we?

Digging deep into diamonds - “The new device offers a bright, stable source of single photons at room temperature, an essential element in making fast and secure computing with light practical.

The finding could lead to a new class of nanostructured diamond devices suitable for quantum communication and computing, as well as advance areas ranging from biological and chemical sensing to scientific imaging.”

A Stellar, Metal-Free Way to Make Carbon Nanotubes - Meteorite’s containing naturally formed space-Carbon Nanotubes could help us in their design and possibly shed a bit of light on the way carbon is seeded on planets

You live in a very unhealthy world and probably don’t take steps to reduce your risk of health problems, but have no fear - Medibots could be fixing your damaged equipment before you know it.

Artificial Skin will use Quantum Tunneling - so now your sexbots will actually feel your love through non-local entanglement sensors? Kind of:

“Peratech makes an electrically conductive material called quantum tunneling composite (QTC). When the material is compressed electrons jump between two conductors separated by polymer insulating layer covered with metallic nanoparticles.

…

QTC robot skin could perhaps let a robot know precisely where it has been touched, and with how much pressure. It could also be helpful in designing machines that have better grasping capabilities, and for developing more natural ways for machines to interact with humans.”

Organic Transistor Paves Way for New Generations of Neuro-Inspired Computers - “For the first time, CNRS and CEA researchers have developed a transistor that can mimic the main functionality of a synapse. This organic transistor, based on pentacene and gold nanoparticles and known as a NOMFET (Nanoparticle Organic Memory Field-Effect Transistor), has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system.”

Them gold nanoparticles sure have been worth all the years of failed alchemist looking for their philospher’s stone. See:NanoGold used in Cancer Treatment.

Of course, everyone’s been wigging out about the emerging actualization of William Gibson’s Nanofaxes via “3D printing” which is actually tech that’s been in development for several years, mostly aimed at organ tissue printing.

The Self-Assembling Nanoparticles into Complex Nanostructures article over at H+ Magazine discusses the issue: “These parts, in turn, can be assembled by positioning mechanisms of assorted sizes to build macroscopic (visible) but still atomically-precise products. The concept is that a functioning nanofactory will create virtually any product at the cost of only the input raw material and energy.”

and the idea receives further fanfare with a different perspective via Can Open Source Manufacturing Save Humanity?:

While this technology is very promising, consider that your governments are passing measures to stop you from trading purely digital information on the basis of copyright. Given their investment in production, don’t you think they will attempt to lockdown this developing science in one way or another?

KNOW YOUR FUTURE BETTER.

So, what’d we miss?

HAARP Deleted Its Records From The Day Before The Haiti Earthquake | Disinfo

black budget tech, conspiracy, cybermagick, mind-machine

A very unusual deletion can be observed in the archived data of HAARP instrument readings from the day before the Haiti earthquake. Perhaps it is a matter of time until it will get fixed with a simple copy-paste operation, but I have made screen shots of it).

Set the date in “Chart Archives” below the today’s graph to 2001/Jan/11 in the window below the graph and see for your selves. It is the only instance of such an occurrence I have discovered by looking through other historical dates. Perhaps some other deletions have already been fixed, I can think of date like May 12th 2008 or December 26th 2004.

The graphs are here: Spectrum Monitor Waterfall Chart

Despite this gap in data, the day’s Induction Magnetometer audio appears intact having no blanks in playback.

Nanowire network measures cells’ electrical signals

Electrical signals from different parts of the same cell have been simultaneously recorded for the first time, thanks to a new technique for attaching nanowire probes. This could aid the study of how heart, muscle and brain cells function and communicate.

The method uses a device called a nanowire field effect transistor (NWFET). This consists of a silicon wire just 20 nanometres in diameter attached to metal electrodes on a substrate of silicon dioxide. The nanowire, which sticks out by 30 to 40 nanometres, can be used as a probe to amplify the electrical signals produced by anything it touches.
….
They grow heart cells taken from chicken embryos on transparent polymer substrates and then transfer the cells to the nanowire array. Each cell is then positioned over up to 10 nanowires with the aid of a microscope. “We can do measurements that weren’t possible before,” says Lieber.

Besides making simultaneous measurements from different parts of the same cell, the wires can record the signals produced by several cells in the same tissue culture at the same time.

Modern wetware is a less disappointing field to look at all the time.

This list seems to suggest that by 2030 we may have a very different map for sectors demanding workforce labor. There’s some interesting proposals for what the future of our employment may look like: Nano-medics, Vertical farmers, Commercial space-travel tour-guides, Memory Augmentations, Weather modification police, Waste-data handlers and Virtual Clutter organizers. The future of employment sounds promising in atleast that it has a possibility to be slightly more fulfilling with such wacky jobs coming to the forefront.

Duncan Laurie: The Secret Art from DANGEROUS MINDS on Vimeo.

Duncan Laurie, author of The Secret Art, is one of the world’s foremost experts on the “forbidden science” of radionics. Some of you may recall Duncan from the Disinformation TV show. He’s the genteel mad scientist/artist from Jamestown, Rhode Island who looks like Harrison Ford and who works in laboratory housed in a glass building. In 2000 I recorded an interview with Duncan where he demonstrated the subtle energy exchange between plants and his mind-blowing collection of radionics devices. Continued @ Dangerous Minds

Much clearer and more direct information on Albert Abraham’s work is avbl. through our friends at Borderlands.

THE WORK OF DR RUTH DROWN

An Outline on a Thumbnail
by Trevor James Constable

“The key to understanding the work and instruments of Dr Ruth Drown lies in a firm grasp of the two fundamental energy manifestations connected with the human body. These are, first, the electrostatic energy of the physical-mineral tissues, and second, the vital energy which passes into and through those tissues enabling them to hold their form. Electrostatic energy remains with the physical body after death. It is the departure of vital energy from the physical body that constitutes death.”

“In the past it has been argued endlessly as to whether or not living substances, or physical-mineral substances give off an emanation. Since the fact that they do is vital to a grasp of Drown therapy and how it works, the point has been dwelt upon in detail. Everything has an emanation, and the etheric double is a scientific fact.

The origin of the emanations is the next point to deal with, since this too impinges directly upon an understanding of the Drown instruments. There can be no doubt that these emanations derive from the molecular activity going on continuously in everything having physical form. The molecule is the unit of mass form. The different arrangements of molecules produce different substances. The molecular arrangement that produces steel is different to that producing lead, and the molecular arrangement producing lung tissue is different to that producing liver tissue.

Any physicist will tell you that the molecules are whirling particles of electricity. These whirlings never cease. It is this activity of these particles that produces the radiance we can see all around all substances in the manner described above. Except in terms of the amount of radiance observed, the eye does not perceive any essential difference between emanations.”

“The Drown Instrument is analogous to any other instrument used for the reception and detection of a broadcast. It must have an antenna. In fact, the whole Drown Instrument is nothing but a tunable antenna, so simple in layout that electronics experts have been deceived into thinking that it is nothing but a straight wire, electrically speaking.

The Drown Instrument consists of nine dials, each of which is made up of ten small brass studs. Each dial therefore has ten positions that may be selected by the operator, just like any other radio dial.”

“The arrangement of nine dials with then studs each permits combinations of these tiny impedances going into billions. The sensitivity of the instrument is absolutely remarkable, when we consider that with it we may pick up from the human body, with its jumble of molecular broadcasts, those of each individual organ and gland.

To establish a “rate” for a substance, i.e., to express it as a number, in terms of dial readings, that substance is placed on the foot plates of the instrument. The footplates are actually the end of the antenna. The operator then begins to stroke the detecting pad which is connected between the instrument and ground. The dials, beginning with the first of “disease” dial (impingement of function produces the base rate of vibration or disease vibration) are slowly rotated as the detector pad moves these minute molecular broadcasts through the instrument when the arrangement of the dials is such that resonance exits between the instrument and the sample being examined.”
