Scientists claim creation of blackest black yet

Scientists claim creation of blackest black yet Vantablack is the result of applying Surrey NanoSystems’ patented low-temperature carbon nanotube growth process to the UK Technology Strategy Board’s ‘Space for Growth’ programme, working alongside the National Physical Laboratory and Enersys’ ABSL Space Products division. The manufacture of `super-black` carbon nanotube-based materials has traditionally required high temperatures, preventing their direct application to sensitive electronics or materials with relatively low melting points. This, along with poor adhesion, prevented their application to critical space and air-borne instrumentation. The two year development and test programme was completed in December 2013, during which period Surrey NanoSystems successfully transferred its low-temperature manufacturing process from silicon to aluminium structures and pyroelectric sensors. As part of the programme, qualification to European Cooperation on Space Standardisation (ECSS) standards was also achieved. Vantablack has the highest thermal conductivity and lowest mass-volume of any material that can be used in high-emissivity applications. It has virtually undetectable levels of outgassing and particle fallout, thus eliminating a key source of contamination in sensitive imaging systems. It withstands launch shock, staging and long-term vibration, and is suitable for coating internal components, such as apertures, baffles, cold shields and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) –type optical sensors. http://ift.tt/1sTn94k

Kids can't use computers... and this is why it should worry you

‘So what do you teach?’ she asked as I worked on her presentation.
‘Computing’ I replied.
‘Oh… I guess these days you must find that the kids know more about computers than the teachers….’

If you teach IT or Computing, this is a phrase that you’ll have heard a million times, [...] Normally when someone spouts this rubbish I just nod and smile. This time I simply couldn’t let it pass.

‘Not really, most kids can’t use computers.’

Meet Fuffr, the case that extends your iPhone 5s touchscreen to your desk

Meet Fuffr, the case that extends your mobile touchscreen to your desk Fuffr is a smart iPhone 5s case that can offer users an interesting additional feature on top of protecting the device from accidents: Leap Motion-like motion tracking and controlling capabilities. Fuffr has its own sensors that help it track all sorts of movements made on a surface outside of the phone’s touchscreen, sending them back to the iPhone via a Bluetooth Low Energy connection. http://ift.tt/1hxGfw2

Leap Motion's latest motion tracking tech can see your joints

Leap Motion's latest motion tracking tech can see your joints The Leap Motion controller is a curious little motion sensor, but it isn't always easy to use. The hand-sensing tech has a tendency to lose sight of where your fingers are and almost every application that uses it has its own learning curve. Soon, that might change -- today Leap is launching the public beta for its next generation (V2) tracking software. This free update makes some big promises, including improved resistance to sunlight and infrared interference, better tracking algorithms and, best of all, the ability to track individual joints.

‘Batman v. Superman’ Movie Gets a Title: ‘Dawn of Justice’

‘Batman v. Superman’ Movie Gets a Title: ‘Dawn of Justice’ Warner Bros. has bestowed a title upon its “Batman v. Superman” movie, “Dawn of Justice,” that leaves no room for guessing what comes next: The Justice League. Warner Bros. has been plotting a Justice League movie since before it even revamped its Superman franchise with “Man of Steel,” and the success of that movie affirmed that it could proceed with several more movies based on DC comics after several stops and starts (see The Lantern, Green). Zack Snyder, who directed “Man of Steel,” will also direct “Dawn of Justice” and “The Justice League.” http://ift.tt/1jKC3sA
