You may have seen many illusions before but this one from MC Escher named 'angels and devils' is interesting. What do you see?

The Large Hadron Collider experiment is on

The first - clockwise - proton beam completed its first circuit of the underground tunnel at just before 0930 GMT. The second - anti-clockwise - proton beam successfully circled the ring after 1400 GMT. The beams have not yet been run continuously. So far, they have been stopped, or "dumped", after just a few circuits.Cern has not yet announced when it plans to carry out the first collisions, but some low-energy collisions could happen in the next few days. This will allow engineers to calibrate instruments, but will not produce data of scientific interest. The vast circular tunnel - the "ring" - which runs under the French-Swiss border contains more than 1,000 cylindrical magnets arranged end-to-end. The magnets are there to steer the proton beam around this 27km-long ring. In order to get both beams to circulate continuously around the LHC, engineers have to "close the orbit". The beams themselves are made up of several "packets" - each about a...

MS Windows 7

MS Windows 7, the next major release of the world's most popular operating system, goes public in trial form in the next week. A test version of Windows 7 will be available to developers from Thursday, while the public can try it out from 5 May. Microsoft is hoping it can avoid the negative press that surrounded the launch of Vista, the last major Windows release, almost three years ago. Windows 7 has been designed to be compatible with Vista so users do not have to invest in new hardware. A commercial release of Windows 7 is expected in the next nine months.

New Artificial Heart

Image
Dr Alain Carpentier's new artificial heart look very real expect for the colour and texture.The device is designed to be as similar as possible to the human heart The device beats almost exactly like the real thing using electronic sensors to regulate heart rate and blood flow. Developers Carmat now need approval from the French authorities before pushing ahead with clinical trials. Several teams from around the world have been working to develop the perfect artificial heart that could be fitted into the 20,000 patients worldwide unable to receive a life-saving heart transplant because of a shortage of donor organs. The new heart is covered with specially treated tissue to avoid rejection by the body's immune system and the formation of blood clots. However, the power supply for the heart remains a significant hurdle. Carmat, the company founded by Professor Carpentier and Europe's aerospace and defence giant EADS, says the battery could last for between five and 16 hours a...
