Facebook Aims to Carve Out a Spot in the Living Room
2017-02-02 19:00:00| TechNewsWorld
Facebook is working on a video app for set-top boxes, according to a Wednesday report. The social network wants to deliver longer-form video content -- and with it video ads -- to the living room TV, the one screen it has been unable to reach. The Facebook app soon could be available on a variety of set-top boxes, including Apple TV. The initiative reportedly began in earnest last summer, after incubating for years as a concept.
Nanoworld Particles carve straight channels in semiconductors.
2015-12-30 14:31:06| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
In the nanoworld, tiny particles of gold can operate like snow blowers, churning through surface layers of semiconductors to dig unerringly straight paths. This trenching capability, reported by scientists from NIST and IBM, is an important addition to "self-assembly" methods that researchers aim to harness for making useful devices. Applications include integrating lasers, sensors, and wave guides into lab-on-a-chip devices used for disease diagnosis and screening experimental materials/drugs.

Winds Carve Away Antarctic Snow
2015-10-20 17:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Environmental News Network: A new study has found that powerful winds are removing massive amounts of snow from parts of Antarctica, potentially boosting estimates of how much the continent might contribute to sea level. Up to now, scientists had thought that most snow scoured from parts of the continent was simply redeposited elsewhere on the surface. However, the new study shows that in certain parts, called scour zones, some 90 percentan estimated 80 billion tons per yearis instead being vaporized, and removed altogether....
