The 4th R Foundation: We Need Peace in the World and we Need Peace in our Minds/Brains; We Need to Understand the True Nature of Peace - We Desperately Need Wisdom/Emotional-Intelligence Education
2012-03-14
Only when man understands the true nature of peace will there be movement toward peace. Peace can only be understood when we understand the true nature of wisdom as peace is an attribute of wisdom. As wisdom is selflessness; peace is selflessness.
Peace is a fragrance of the pure self. Peace is an innate property of the pure self. Only when both adversaries have a real transformation not just in attitude toward each other and also toward their own outlook on life will there be real peace. It is not for nothing that Jesus said that if someone hits you on one cheek offer ...
Diamond-based materials brighten the future of electronics
2012-03-14
While diamonds may be a girl's best friend, they're also well-loved by scientists working to enhance the performance of electronic devices.
Two new studies performed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have revealed a new pathway for materials scientists to use previously unexplored properties of nanocrystalline-diamond thin films. While the properties of diamond thin films are relatively well-understood, the new discovery could dramatically improve the performance of certain types of integrated circuits by reducing their "thermal budget." ...
Detecting clouds from both sides now
2012-03-14
"Bows and flows of angel hair, and ice cream castles in the air;" we've looked at clouds that way. But the interface between clouds and clear air isn't as well-defined as these imaginative shapes might lead us to believe. Detecting that hazy line can help scientists to better understand the processes that lead to cloud formation, which is important for good weather forecasts and climate modeling. Now atmospheric scientists from the University of Reading in the United Kingdom have designed a sunlight-measuring tool that uses the natural swinging and spinning of a rising ...
Laser lightning rod: Guiding bursts of electricity with a flash of light
2012-03-14
Using an experimental apparatus reminiscent of a classic Frankenstein movie, French researchers have coaxed laboratory-generated lightning into striking the same place, not just twice, but over and over. This feat of electrical reorientation used femtosecond (one quadrillionth of a second) pulses of laser light to create a virtual lightning rod out of a column of ionized gas. This is the first time that these laser-induced atmospheric filaments were able to redirect an electrical discharge away from its intended target and guide it to a normally less-attractive electrode. ...
Artificially structured metamaterials may boost wireless power transfer
2012-03-14
More than one hundred years after the pioneering inventor Nikola Tesla first became fascinated with wireless energy transfer, the spread of mobile electronic devices has sparked renewed interest in the ability to power up without plugging in. Now researchers from Duke University in Durham, N.C., and the Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, Mass., have proposed a way to enhance the efficiency of wireless power transfer systems by incorporating a lens made from a new class of artificial materials.
When a changing electric current flows through a wire ...
