NEW YORK, NY, February 24, 2012 (Press-News.org) The funeral service of 18-year-old Ramarley Graham was held at a Bronx church on Saturday, reported WNYC (2/18/2012). The Bronx teen was gunned down by police inside his home in early February.
New York civil rights violation lawyer David Perecman agrees with a number of mourners that the killing appeared to be unjustified.
According to the New York Daily News (2/18/2012), Graham was killed by an officer from the NYPD's narcotics unit who believed he spotted a gun in Graham's waistband and followed him to his family's apartment. Graham was shot in the bathroom after police stormed the home. He was unarmed when police shot him and no weapons were found.
"Based on the reports, it's alarming that a police officer felt it was appropriate to shoot," said New York civil rights violation lawyer Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, one of New York's civil rights violation law firms.
The Bronx district attorney's office is investigating the allegations of excessive force by police officers the NYDN said.

Mechanism behind capacitor's high-speed energy storage discovered
2012-02-24
Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered the means by which a polymer known as PVDF enables capacitors to store and release large amounts of energy quickly. Their findings could lead to much more powerful and efficient electric cars.
Capacitors are like batteries in that they store and release energy. However, capacitors use separated electrical charges, rather than chemical reactions, to store energy. The charged particles enable energy to be stored and released very quickly. Imagine an electric vehicle that can accelerate from zero to 60 miles ...

Penn researchers build first physical 'metatronic' circuit
2012-02-24
PHILADELPHIA -- The technological world of the 21st century owes a tremendous amount to advances in electrical engineering, specifically, the ability to finely control the flow of electrical charges using increasingly small and complicated circuits. And while those electrical advances continue to race ahead, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are pushing circuitry forward in a different way, by replacing electricity with light.
"Looking at the success of electronics over the last century, I have always wondered why we should be limited to electric current in ...

Genome sequencing finds unknown cause of epilepsy
2012-02-24
Only 10 years ago, deciphering the genetic information from one individual in a matter of weeks to find a certain disease-causing genetic mutation would have been written off as science fiction.
It was the time of the Human Genome Project, and it had taken armies of sequencing robots working around the clock for almost a decade to unravel the complete sequence of the human genetic code – referred to as the genome – by churning out the DNA alphabet letter by letter.
Now a team headed by Michael Hammer from the University of Arizona applied Next Generation Genome Sequencing ...

Naked mole-rats bear lifesaving clues
2012-02-24
Could blind, buck-toothed, finger-sized naked mole-rats harbor in their brain cells a survival secret that might lead to better heart attack or stroke treatments?
University of Illinois at Chicago biologist Thomas Park and colleagues at UIC and the University of Texas Heath Science Center at San Antonio think the subterranean lifestyle of the pasty-looking rodents may indeed hold clues to keeping brain cells alive and functioning when oxygen is scarce. The key may lie in how brain cells regulate their intake of calcium.
"Normally, calcium in brain cells does wonderful ...
A rainbow for the palm of your hand

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- University at Buffalo engineers have developed a one-step, low-cost method to fabricate a polymer with extraordinary properties: When viewed from a single perspective, the polymer is rainbow-colored, reflecting many different wavelengths of light.
Used as a filter for light, this material could form the basis of handheld multispectral imaging devices that identify the "true color" of objects examined. An image of the material is available here: http://www.buffalo.edu/news/13214.
"Such portable technology could have applications in a wide range of fields, ...

Metal nanoparticles shine with customizable color
2012-02-24
Cambridge, Mass. - February 23, 2012 – Engineers at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of tunable color filter that uses optical nanoantennas to obtain precise control of color output.
Whereas a conventional color filter can only produce one fixed color, a single active filter under exposure to different types of light can produce a range of colors.
The advance has the potential for application in televisions and biological imaging, and could even be used to create invisible security tags to mark currency. The findings appear in the February issue of Nano Letters.
