Researchers at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in New Mexico have used microprocessors developed for the PS3 to power the fastest supercomputer on earth, the Roadrunner. This new extreme machine will help to model the world’s physical reactions in the face of extremely complex, multivariate situations—like the future of changing weather patterns or radioactive fallout simulations.

The new technology uses as little as a cup of water in each wash cycle.

Although water is the most widespread base material on earth and is essential for all forms of life, it is not a plentiful resource. As the global population continues to increase and economic development advances, the demand for water and energy will escalate, resulting in spiralling demands for our limited global resources.

"Flame" Mimics Human Walking Style

Researcher Daan Hobbelen of TU Delft has developed a new highly
advanced walking robot dubbed Flame as part of his PhD research
focused on revealing the way people walk. This type of research,
for which Hobbelen will receive his PhD on Friday 30 May, is
important as it provides insight into how people walk. This can
in turn help people with walking difficulties through improved
diagnoses, training and rehabilitation equipment.
