F1: Formula One: On and off track – week 13

Cosworth is back, tyre compounds, and the F-Duct
Cosworth is back
The trusty Cosworth engine was for many decades, combined with the good
old Hewland gearbox, the favorite package for many teams to propel their
Formula One cars. The engine manufacturer is now back in Formula One, and
supplies the engines for the Williams, Lotus, Virgin and HRT teams.
Cosworth’s involvement in Formula One began in 1963, and ended in 2006:
during that 43-year period they scored 176 wins, which makes then the most

Chip in a Pill Tells Your Doctor When You Swallow Your Medicine — and When You Don’t

So much for going off your meds. University of Florida researchers have created an ingestible pill capsule fitted with a tiny microchip and antenna that alerts doctors or family members each time a pill is taken. Miss a dose and you’re busted.
For now the pill exists only in prototype form, but researchers and clinicians hope it paves the way toward a smart pill future, in which patients take their medications in a more timely manner. Studies have shown again and again that patients have a horrible track…

Video: MIT Students’ DIY "Minority Report" Glove Mouse

The engineering students’ project costs less than $100
Many augmented reality projects like to cite Minority Report as an inspiration, but MIT’s Glove Mouse project takes a very direct cue from the touch-free display manipulations of Tom Cruise’s character in the film. In a new video, the glove mouse shows off its wireless stuff.
MIT students Tony Hyun Kim and Nevada Sanchez created the electrical engineering project in 2009, and put together the entire package for less than $100. The glove allows users …

According to Genomic Pioneers, the Future of Genetics is the Future of Computing

The journal Nature today released a massive retrospective on the tenth anniversary of the Human Genome Project (officially celebrated June 26 of this year), which included two important pieces from genomics pioneers J. Craig Venter and Francis Collins. While retrospectives generally look backward, Venter and Collins are already looking to the next decade, one filled with free-flowing information, reams of phenotype data and multiple genomes per person. But the biggest developments in genomics won’t be a …

Tiny Buckyballs Could Put Fast-Spreading Cancer Cells into Suspended Animation

But their effect in normal cells may prove toxic for the body
Adorable buckyballs can act as soccer-ball-shaped molecular cages to deliver designer drugs or even radioactive particles to attack diseases such as cancer. Now scientists have found that a certain buckyball configuration can put human skin cells into a sort of suspended animation where they don’t die, divide, or grow — a toxic condition for the human body that might also lead to possible treatments.
This is a first-time finding for buckyball…

Sensor-Equipped Contact Lens Monitors Glaucoma Symptoms Around the Clock

Glaucoma is a tricky ailment to manage; rather than being a single disease, it’s actually a cluster of diseases with various manifestations that, taken as a whole, are the second leading cause of blindness. But medical microtechnology firm Sensimed has engineered a sensor-laden contact lens that glaucoma sufferers can wear around-the-clock, helping doctors not only manage the potentially debilitating disease, but also learn more about how the mysterious condition works.
Little is really understood about …
