This coming August, the Japan Space Elevator Association (JSEA) will be holding it’s fourth annual JSETEC (Japan Space Elevator Technical and Engineering Competition). Each year, the JSEA gets more and more ambitious with its competition and this year, they are aiming for a racecourse more than a kilometer high!
Planning details are still sketchy, but I [...]

Time–temperature rheological equivalence is an important concepts with regard to the viscoelastic behavior of polymers. In this Hot Paper, the generality of an analogous relationship, time–composition equivalence, in several series of ternary block copolymer/cosolvent systems at ambient temperature was explored. In particular, triblock copolymers solvated with a miscible mixture of midblock-selective [...]
A new game, Mechanic Panic, has been issued for Apple platforms (iPad, iPod Touch, iPhone) with the Space Elevator as a backdrop and, guess, what, the Space Elevator gets destroyed - how original! From the game description:
“A catastrophic explosion has rocked the world’s first Space Elevator. Thankfully you’re on the job! As the fearless mechanic, [...]
Most anyone in the space elevator community knows who Jerome Pearson is. He’s one of the people who independently re-invented the idea of Space Elevator, wrote a seminal paper on the subject and provided much of the rigorous engineering and mathematical underpinnings that such a structure would need.
He attended the 2010 Space Elevator Conference (along [...]

When the International Space Elevator Consortium (ISEC) was first formed, the only website available with the ISEC acronym was http://www.isec.info. Much later on, http://www.isec.org became available and we snatched it up. You can visit either URL and see the ISEC website, but our internal/external email addresses have always been isec.info, not isec.org. This has been [...]
I have just found out that Gaylen Hinton, the first person to be awarded an “Honorable Mention” in the Artsutanov Prize competition and a contributor to Volume 1 of CLIMB, has recently passed away after a long bout with cancer. Gaylen’s online Obituary can be found here. It’s fascinating reading and just goes to show [...]

On Tuesday, March 20th, Michael Laine (of LiftPort fame) will appear on Dr. David Livingston’s The Space Show. From the Who’s On The Space Show This Week email:
We welcome back MICHAEL LAINE of Liftport to discuss his Lunar Space Elevator Concept. Visit his website for more information.
The show will be aired at 7-8:30 PM [...]
In a collaboration by researchers from the Oregon State University College of Science and the University of California at Santa Barbara, carbon nanotube technology used in conjunction with pre-existing biosensors resulted in the accelerated detection of target proteins (as compared to pre-existing biosensors alone). “With these types of sensors, it should be possible to do many medical [...]
A new method called electron ptychography uses computational methods to form an image from scattered electron waves that have passed through the sample, bringing atomic resolution to electron microscopy.
Scientists at MIT have recently developed micro-sized beads (roughly 200nm in diameter), comprised of a new sponge-like material, which act as carriers of a potential cancer treatment. Small strands of short interfering RNA (siRNA) are tightly packed into these microspheres and then injected into the bloodstream. Eventually, these microsponges pass through small openings created by a [...]
I’m a big fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor (not so sure about the person) and one of my favorite movies of his was Total Recall. Futuristic, lots of mind-twists, unseen aliens, etc., all things which appeal to a science fiction geeks like me.
In a recent posting on io9, David Hughes tells us how a [...]
The creation of a soft polymer bowl that acts as an artificial womb by mimicing the soft tissue of a mammalian uterus has allowed scientists to observe embryonic development between the fourth and eighth day of typical development. Hitherto, scientists were able to observe the fertilized egg and blastocyst, but had great difficulty viewing embryonic behavior [...]
