The team of Toma Susi at the University of Vienna uses a state-of-the-art electron microscope, the UltraSTEM, to manipulate strongly bound materials with atomic precision. Since the instruments are fully computerized, it is possible to show in a simulation how researchers actually use them. This allows for compelling and largely realistic presentations of the most recent research in materials science. A simulation game on display at the Vienna Technical Museum in a special exhibition is now available online, together with the latest research advance of silicon impurity manipulation in single-walled carbon nanotubes. https://phys.org/news/2019-07-online-simulation-game-graphene.html Nanomaterials Tue, 09 Jul 2019 07:44:53 EDT news481877086 Researchers at the University of Montreal have developed techniques that enable computer cursors to interact in 3D in single or multiuser, local or remote collaboration scenarios. The system, unveiled today at the SIGGRAPH 2015 Conference in Los Angeles, is not so much about turning Word into an IMAX experience as offering designers an opportunity to navigate through and modify their creations manipulating 3D objects with 3D interactions. https://phys.org/news/2015-08-cursors-d.html Engineering Sun, 09 Aug 2015 17:27:02 EDT news358360004 A new simulator could help the elderly or disabled users engage more effectively with electronic devices, including websites, smartphones and digital television. https://phys.org/news/2013-06-democratising.html Software Mon, 10 Jun 2013 07:30:02 EDT news290066726 Samsung Electronics is beefing up its tablet range with a competitor to Apple's iPad Mini that sports a pen for writing on the screen. https://phys.org/news/2013-02-samsung-ipad-mini-galaxy.html Consumer & Gadgets Sun, 24 Feb 2013 07:25:08 EST news280912795 As much as I like Google Docs for word processing and spreadsheets, I find the online software clunky at times.
