#Futuristic cargo vessel looks to revolutionize shipping Norwegian ship designer Lade AS has unveiled a futuristic new design for cargo vessels

which takes the ship to the necessary speed to generate aerodynamic lift on its hull. Additionally the Vindskip will employ a specialized computer program to analyze meteorological data
Lade AS plans to eventually license the Vindskip concept to shipping companies ship consultants and shipyards.

#Imaging lipid rafts reveals some surprises In a previous collaboration, a team of researchers led by Mikiko Sodeoka at the RIKEN Synthetic Organic chemistry Laboratory
if we could eethe distribution of sphingomyelin in the raft structure, Sodeoka says. But this required overcoming two major challenges.
Because lipid rafts are constantly moving in the cell membrane it is very difficult to pin them down long enough to obtain an image.
Furthermore, the low number of lipid rafts in membranes makes it hard to extract their signals from the background noise.
Murata group made long imaging times possible by preparing artificial membranes with a raft-like composition and immobilizing them on a surface,
while Sodeoka and Fujita groups obtained strong signals from lipid rafts by employing a small, strongly Raman-active conjugated diyne tag and their highly sensitive Raman microscope.
the researchers observed a gradually varying distribution of sphingomyelin in ordered rafts. any people assumed that ordered and disordered domains in lipid rafts were separated clearly,
The technique developed by the team opens the way for in depth functional studies of lipid rafts. efore our work,
#Researchers develop the first flexible phase-change random access memory (Nanowerk News) Phase change random access memory (PRAM) is one of the strongest candidates for next-generation nonvolatile memory for flexible and wearable electronics.
The effective solution is to decrease cell size in sub-micron region as in commercialized conventional PRAM.
thus practical flexible PRAM has not been realized yet. Recently a team led by Professors Keon Jae Lee
and Yeon Sik Jung of the Department of Materials science and engineering at KAIST has developed the first flexible PRAM enabled by self-assembled block copolymer (BCP) silica nanostructures with an ultralow current operation (below one quarter
of conventional PRAM without BCP) on plastic substrates. BCP is the mixture of two different polymer materials,
"Low-power nonvolatile PRAM for flexible and wearable memories enabled by (a) self-assembled BCP silica nanostructures and (b) self-structured conductive filament nanoheater.
KAIST) Another way to achieve ultralow-powered PRAM is to utilize self-structured conductive filaments (CF) instead of the resistor-type conventional heater.
"In addition, due to self-structured low-power technology compatible to plastics, the research team has succeeded recently in fabricating a flexible PRAM on wearable substrates.
"The demonstration of low power PRAM on plastics is one of the most important issues for next-generation wearable and flexible nonvolatile memory.
Our innovative and simple methodology represents the strong potential for commercializing flexible PRAM.""In addition, he wrote a review paper regarding the nanotechnology-based electronic devices in the June online issue of Advanced Materials entitled"Performance Enhancement of Electronic and Energy Devices via Block copolymer Self-Assembly

#Wind-powered freighters To make ships more eco-efficient, engineers have been working with alternative fuels. A Norwegian engineer is currently pursuing a new approach:
With Vindskiptm, he has designed a cargo ship that is powered by wind and gas. Software developed by Fraunhofer researchers will ensure an optimum use of the available wind energy at any time.
The International maritime organization (IMO) wants to reduce the environmental impact of ocean liners. One of the measures: Starting from 2020, ships will only be allowed to use fuel containing maximum 0. 1 percent sulfur in their fuel in certain areas.
However, the higher-quality fuel with less sulfur is more expensive than the heavy fuel oil
in order to maneuver the ship on the open sea while also maintaining a constant speed, it is equipped with an environmentally friendly
Considering meteorological data the software for the new ship type uses a navigation algorithm to calculate a route with the optimum angle to the wind for maximum effect of the design. ith our weather routing module the best route can be calculated
t angles close to headwind the wind generates a force in the ship direction. The ship is pulled forward.
Since the hull is shaped like a symmetrical air foil, the oblique wind on the opposite side leeward has to travel a longer distance.
This causes a vacuum at the windward side that pulls the ship forward, explains Vindskiptm patent-holder Lade.
This makes the freighter move at speeds of up to 18 to 19 knots, hence just as fast as conventionally powered ships.
are ships like car and truck carriers, big ferries, container ships and LNG CARRIERS. Terje Lade forecasts that the freighter will set sail as soon as 2019.
First, the ship model has to pass numerous tests in a marine research model tank also called a towing tank by experts.
