alphadogg sends in an article entitled NetworkWorld about promising new research with graphene. Extract from the article: Two Nobel scientists outside the United Kingdom have developed a new way of using graphene – the thinnest material in the world – that could make the pipes of the Internet feel much larger Manchester University professors Andre Geim and Kostya. Novoselov … writing in the journal Nature Communications a method of combining carbon-based materials with metallic nanostructures for use as photodetectors that could significantly increase the amount of light optical communications devices could handle. This advance in harvesting and conversion of light into electrical energy graphene could lead to rates of communication tens or even hundreds of times faster than today, the researchers say.

Never count out the little guy. It seems Sprint rise of his game in preparation for the fight brings to three possible routes lurking just out of sight. In an email toPhoneScoop, the company Hesse-conduct revealed a change to come to his ETF for customers with smartphones, tabs, laptops and netbooks. Beginning September 9th, Sprint will be charging a termination fee of $ 350 – the same as Verizon and AT and T – which will be prorated depended on the number of months remaining on the contract of the subscriber. The charge is a serious step-up expenses of $ 200 before, which clearly indicates that the market demands to be seen as a competitor.

We’re here in Berlin, covering the IFA 2011 , Panasonic and things started by showing a camera concept, with its first dual-lens capable of shooting stills and video in 3D. Unfortunately, the press release of the company is light on technical information, but it shows the system is built on two glasses of 4x with thin, folded optical. I hope we see this thing in person, while we are in town and learn a little more. In similar news, the company also announced the HDC-Z10000 (pictured), his first camcorder 2D / 3D with an integrated dual-lens. The camcorder records 1080p / 1080i AVCHD video 3D is a dual CMOS sensors with a combined resolution of 13.1MP and eye-less than 3.5 inch LCD. It is also capable of 3D macros as close as 17.8 inches – a record for camcorders 3D dual purpose, according to Panasonic. As the company has been known to do, however, it is now out to reveal details on price or availability, so it looks like we will have to save for a rainy day. Full PR after the break.

RogerRoast writes A new study by scientists from MIT identifies areas of the brain used exclusively for the language (PDF), providing a partial answer to a long-standing debate in cognitive science. The study found that there are parts of our brain dedicated to language and only. linguistic After their subjects do the job the original language, which they call a functional localization, they each had only a subset of seven experiments: one on arithmetic exact, two on working memory, cognitive control of three, and one on music, since these are the features the most frequently cited by the machines of neurons with the language. The authors say the results do not mean that all cognitive functions has its own dedicated piece of the cortex, after all, we are able to learn new skills, there must be some parts of the brain that are both high level and functionally flexible.

The security system built into the motherboard of the 360 has more layers than an onion, so previous hacks have generally focused on the optical drive instead. But a couple of circuit breakers and named gligli Tiros claim to have finally released from the CPU of the console, allowing all 360 variants to start homebrew software, while making them invulnerable to the patches sent by Microsoft. Video after the break is intended to show the fruits of their work, including an N64 emulator running on a version of Linux. It does not really prove anything, except maybe the length of these guys went to, they use different tools to slow CPU hardware of the console and then confuse it with pulses called glitch in an effort to make him forget his normal start-up checks. Certainly not something for the average F-Zero Racer X, especially when the speed boost around protection against copying, as may be shady in the eyes of the law. (One more thing: do not be put off by the soundtrack of the video – starts weird, but better, baby.)

Windows Phone 7.5 will more Mac-friendly when it comes to pajamas. Microsoft Connector app just got updated to version 2.0 and can support the market and transfer ringtone for Mango equipped handsets. It contains also some other improvements that are already working with WP 7.0, including drag and drop file import from the device Browse window, better backup and recovery, and support for synchronization and import software Apple Aperture. Connector 2.0 is ready and waiting on the App Store and Mango should push his head around the mountain all day.

Garmin is best known for its car navigation systems , but today, dug deeper into the realm of personal navigation with a brand new iPhone for the lost forever. For a dollar, you will have the standard walk, driving directions and public transport, but go premium for $ 2.99 per month or $ 29.99 for the year, and you will cop more add-ons designed for turn your iPhone into a full PND. As the mapping system or standard iPhone HopStop, the subscription version of this software allows you to integrate public transport in your journey – but the added feature here is the ability to view the timetables of public transport, as you can in the Google Maps App for Android. He also talked about turn-by-turn directions, traffic routing Garmin and Google search, making it a convenient alternative to a navigation system awkward. Check the full PR after the break.

The MHL Consortium wants to ban the HDMI from our phones for its connection Mobile High Definition Link, and technology has found its way into handsets as GSII and 3D EVO . But so far there was no TV to connect. Toshiba Regza line late in the WL800A is all alone in its 2011 lineup to pack the 5-pin port that takes 1080p from your mobile device and puts it on a 46 inch or 55-inch edge-lit LED panel. The best part is, the connection MHL pushes the power in your phone at the same time, the video streaming – if you do not have to worry about your phone dying on you in the middle of your marathon mobile cinema. Currently on sale in the Land of Oz for $ 2,329 (46 inches) and $ 3,179 (55 inches) AUD, the WL800 will not come to America. However, now that the GSII has landed stateside hope some TVs equipped MHL follow.
