Researchers develop new method for producing transparent conductors
Single-step process promises cheaper, more powerful electronic devices
Researchers at ucla have developed a new method for producing a hybrid
graphene–carbon nanotube, or G-CNT, for potential use as a transparent
conductor in solar cells and consumer electronic devices. These G-CNTs could
provide a cheaper and much more flexible alternative to materials currently used
in these and similar applications.

Using Camera Phones as Cheap Medical Diagnostic Tools
In many Third World and developing countries, the distance between people in need of health care and the facilities capable of providing it constitutes a major obstacle to improving health. One solution involves creating medical diagnostic applications small enough to fit into objects already in common use, such as cell phones - in effect, bringing the hospital to the patient. more

Scientists Seek to Turn Cars Into a Mobile Communications Network
It's no secret Americans love their cars, and modern computer systems have enhanced vehicle performance and safety. For computer science professor Mario Gerla and researcher Giovanni Pau at the ucla Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, the next step is to take that digital processing power and push it outward even further - by using cars as computer nodes in a mobile network on wheels. more
