Researchers have invented a new material that will make cars even more
efficient, by converting heat wasted through engine exhaust into
electricity.

A team of scientists led by researchers from Princeton University has
discovered a new way that electrons behave in materials. The discovery
could lead to new kinds of electronic devices.

The Atom as a Compacted Electromagnetic Field Structure - Part 1
Modified July 21, 2008
Although I have previously posted my ideas on atomic structure,

It seems there is an error in this Wikipedia article:
   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday%27s_law_of_induction
Faraday's law says the induced EMF is in proportion to the rate of CHANGE
(my emphasis) of the magnetic flux.  The article describes this much OK.

There is no single branch of science and technology or industry that
is not affected by nanotechnology. The development and innovations in
the next 10 years or so would even be showing stronger influence of
nanotechnology on most materials we are surrounded. To date, it has

Schrödinger's Universe
One of the very best books, that has recently come out, is Dr. Milo
Wolff's brand new book: Schrödinger's Universe.
I've just now finished reading it and I predict that someday it will

For over half a century now Theoretical Physics academia has been
desperately searching for the TRUE value of the Fine Structure
Constant. The best "guess" so far from those scientists in Quantum
Mechanics diligently working to find this correct value is:

Is there any complete dynamics solver for gravity and EM? e.g., the
Jefimenko equations + gravity(is there a relativistic equivalent similar to
Jefimenko's?).
I'm thinking about implementing these buts its quite daunting... not

If two electrodes are sandwitching two dielectric materials with very
different dielectric constants (but the same thickness), say, water
and glass. Would the new dielectric constant lies in between the
original two?

To say that I am reluctant to post this would be an enormungous
understatement.  If I could solve this puzle (theoreticaly) myself I'd not
risk abject humiliation.  However, I can't, so I will.
Whilest reading the musings of a (retired I think) physicist a single

This time, Bill walks to the wall, whisks out a cigarette (though he does
not smoke) lights it and grips it between his lips. He removes a bandanna
from his hip pocket and ties it around his eyes.
He takes a deep breath. "Ready! Aim! Fire!" he shouts.
