	Invisibility is now one step closer
...The device guides light around anything that is placed withing the so-called "cloak". The engineers at Purdue University have followed mathematical guidelines that were devised last year by the UK physicists to create a theoretical design, which in its turn uses an array of very small needles. The latter radiate from a central spoke outwards. The theoretical design looks like a round hairbrush. It would bend around...

	Levitation Possible in Real World
... suggested by the British scientists is based on a quirk of nature that lets particles to pop into existence from actually nowhere. This phenomenon is known in science as the 'Casimir force'. Quantum physicists predicted the 'Casimir force' in 1948. It was measured for the first time in 1997. At present day the Casimir force is the cause of friction in the nano-world, and micro-electromechanical systems in particular. ...

	Intel Marks its 40th Anniversary
...World's most famous chip maker, Intel, celebrates its 40th birthday. Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce were the two physicists that set up the company back in 1968. The term Intel derives from "Integrated Electronics". "When we introduced the microprocessor no one could have predicted that the market for PCs would be greater than 350 million units a year. Over the next 40 years Intel technology will be at the heart of brea...
