at the company's upcoming developer conference in October.Adobe Systems has started work to bring 3D to its Flash platform, and will preview the technology
which will be held in Los Angeles Oct. 23-27.A session titled "Flash Player 3D Future" will outline a future version of Flash that will be capable of playing 3D content,according to a program listing for the Adobe Max 2010 trade show, " according to the listing. T he Flash Player is available as a browser plug-in that allows users to play games or view multimedia content. Google's YouTube uses Flash for video distribution on its Web site.The session will take "a deep dive into the next-generation 3D API coming in a future version of Flash Player, The session is "going to be big," said Thibault Imbert, a Flash product manager at Adobe in a blog entry."If you are into 3D development for games, augmented reality or just interactive stuff like Web sites, you just can't miss the session," Imbert wrote. Adobe officials were unavailable for comment Friday on a release date for a 3D Flash Player. The company had closed for the day, according to a spokeswoman for A&R Edelman, Adobe's public relations agency. This could be an important development as games and videos are increasingly produced in 3D. At the Computex trade show last month, graphics chip company Nvidia demonstrated 3D video streaming live over the Internet using a video player based on Microsoft's Silverlight platform.Adobe has also engaged in a public spat with Apple, which does not support playback of Flash content on its iPhone and iPad devices. Apple prefers distributing video and multimedia content through the HTML5 standard, and Apple CEO Steve Jobs has publicly derided Flash for being buggy, slow and power hungry.Adobe already offers tools for 3D animation in Flash, but the new platform could bring richer 3D experiences.

New technology invented at Stanford University may allow Robots to gain touch sensitive skin in the future. Remember Data from Star Trek?
Data had always pushed towards becoming more human and one part of it
was to feel emotion and sensations. There were some episodes where Data
had the chance to receive skin grafts that allowed him to feel the same
skin sensations that humans could.
The technology incorporates a transparent film of single-walled carbon nanotubes
that simply act like tiny... Continue reading...

The experimental set-up at LCLS used by the team.
An
international team, led by Oxford University scientists, studied how
solid matter responded to X-ray laser pulses produced by the Linac
Coherent Light Source (LCLS) based in Stanford, California. The team
focused the X-rays onto a spot 30 times smaller than the width of a
human hair, heating a metal foil to two million degrees Celsius within a
fraction of a trillionth of a second. They found that the metal
was heated to high tempe... Continue reading...

A scientist at Colorado State University has developed a way to make
everyday plants one of the first lines of defense in the war on terror.
Lab work currently underway makes green plants turn white if they detect
explosive, biological or chemical weapons in their environment. Imagine
someone walking by these plants in an airport with hidden explosives --
and the plants changing color to alert security. But
don't get too curious about the science behind it all. Speaking with

embedded systems . The family is often referred to as the 8xC196
family, or 80196, the most popular MCU in the family. These MCUs are
commonly used in hard disk drives, modems, printers, pattern recognition
and motor control. In 2007, Intel announced the discontinuance of the
entire MCS-96 family of microcontrollers.
Intel noted that "There are no direct replacements for these components
and a redesign will most... Continue reading...
