Cehabit wrote Gold, platinum and other metals precioius were sucked into the earth’s core molten iron quickly after our planet formed.

So where does all the materials for our jewelry come from?

According to high-precision measurements of two isotopes, or atomic variants, tungsten 4 billion in old rocks from Greenland published online today in Nature [summary adds a little more, the full version is paywalled if] Precious metal bearing meteorites hit the Earth around this time, the surface of the planet in a veneer containing gold, platinum, and other long after their native counterparts had disappeared in the nucleus of the planet.

Posted on by

Viewsonic does not want to be left behind and presented a new monitor that has the technology currently in vogue in 3D.

V3D241wm Viewsonic has a 24-inch LED panel with a latency of 2ms, 300 candelas of brightness, contrast and 20.000.000:1 120Hz refresh rate, the frequency depending on the manufacturer to take advantage of 3D content using glasses polarized supplied with this monitor.

For the moment we do not know what price in Euros, but in the UK sells for about 330 pounds, which at current exchange rates would be about 376 euros, although we can not make the price of when you get to be on sale in Spain.

Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi will compete in round-3 TB hard drive

Posted on by

We saw 3 TB hard drives run on the market for the best part of the year, but only now do we see more UEFI equipped motherboards that can effectively manage all that capacity storage. Thus, benchmarking assistants more HotHardware decided now would be a good time to oppose a small number of ‘em against each other, rounded models from the likes of Western Digital, Seagate and Hitachi and subjecting them a grueling battery of 28 tests. We’ll leave you to read the notes, but suffice it to say that the Seagate Barracuda XT swept about half the benchmarks, and won a second the rest of the time. But is it worth spending an additional $ 30 more than Western Digital constantly back Caviar Green ? We’ll leave that to you and your wallet.

Shiny, happy people watching 2s iPad ? Why, it must be the power of the inductive load , or just hyper-enthusiastic marketing. Revealed at CEDIA 2011 , Dana Innovations recently announced LaunchPort system takes the convenience of wireless charging and tap on the wall. Of course, there is the regular OL option to charge your Apple flat surface of a slab, but then you’ll be missing out on the sharp 360 degrees. The price of this fantasy is not cheap either, with both wall and base-mounted options cost $ 200 each, plus $ 150 for the sleeve PowerShuttle mandatory and $ 10 for pre-order costs. Now, how did you need to show that the tablet Jony Ive designed? Jump the break to attend exaggerating at its best.

Army kills bacteria electrified uranium, Captain Planet gives a run for its money

Some kind of hairy bacteria may simply be the answer to clean up radioactive spills. Scientists at the University of Southern California found that in certain circumstances, Geobacter sulfurreducens could make metals such as less soluble uranium – essentially turning the hard metal droplets rather than being absorbed. The researchers found that lowering the temperature of the bacteria, it caused the hair-like pili extend, which enveloped the uranium-poison and, ultimately, reduced by the electron transfer at long range. The breakthrough could help deplete the sources of uranium or other radioactive isotopes which bacteria can not normally survive – like the nuclear power plant in Fukushima in Japan that devastated earlier this year. Scientists believe they have only scratched the surface of this development and we are optimistic about the future of bacteria electromicrobiology, we can only guess grown in popularity after the 80s classic on the air (video after the pause).

Smart Bar eAccess Gingerbread combines with traditional keypad for those who love the old school

Posted on by

Well, you do not see too often. A new phone called the Smart Bar is on sale in Japan on September 22 that combines the retro style of a candybar with a modern 3-inch touchscreen. We are definitely intrigued by the keypad (for obvious reasons), and WVGA screen sports a pixel density of 311ppi admirable, although the rest of the specs are decidedly trivial. The handset is manufactured by Huawei and Qualcomm has a 800MHz MSM7227 SoC, 512MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera and Gingerbread. There is also support for the 802.11n standard (which allows you to attach up to five devices simultaneously), Bluetooth 2.1 and IrDA. It has 3G support on the 2100 and 1700MHz spectrum, with Tri-band 1900 / 1800 / 900 MHz GSM capacity. The Smart Bar will sell for about 29.800 yen ($ 385), where fans of vintage fusion can select from variants in black, white and brown.

You may have suspected that something was up after Viewsonic failed in his promised early Q2 shipping date for Boxee-powered TV it showed off at CES, and you would have suspected correctly. GigaOM
now reports that Viewsonic has in fact abandoned its plans for the device, apparently due to a combination of high costs and lack of interest in intelligent TV customers. It is still keeping its options open for further down the road, however, note that it will stay involved in the development of different technologies and to consider in the future as they become available.
