Experts unveil ‘cloak of silence’

Being woken in the dead of night by noisy neighbours blasting out music could soon be a thing of the past.

Scientists have shown off the blueprint for “acoustic cloaks“, which could make objects impervious to sound waves.

The technology, outlined in the New Journal of Physics, could be used to build sound-proof homes, advanced concert halls or stealth warships.

Scientists have previously demonstrated devices that cloak objects from microwaves, making them “invisible”.

“The mathematics behind cloaking has been known for several years,” said Professor John Pendry of Imperial College London, UK, an expert in cloaking.

“What hasn’t been available for sound is the sort of materials you need to build a cloak out of.”

IBM aims to cool chips with water

A network of tiny pipes of water could be used to cool next-generation PC chips, researchers at IBM have said.

Scientists at the firm have shown off a prototype device layered with thousands of “hair-width” cooling arteries.

They believe it could be a solution to the increasing amount of heat pumped out by chips as they become smaller and more densely packed with components.

The technology was demonstrated in IBM’s 3D chips, where circuits are stacked one on top of the other.

Laying chips vertically, instead of side by side, reduces the distance data has to travel , enhancing performance and saving critical space. Read the rest of this entry »

Paypal to block ‘unsafe browsers’

Web payment firm Paypal has said it will block “unsafe browsers” from using its service as part of wider anti-phishing efforts.

Customers will first be warned that a browser is unsafe but could then be blocked if they continue using it.

Paypal said it was “an alarming fact that there is a significant set of users who use very old and vulnerable browsers such as Internet Explorer 4″.

Phishing attacks trick users into handing over sensitive data.

Paypal said some users were still using Internet Explorer 3 , released more than 10 years ago. It lacks many of the security and safety features needed to protect users from phishing and other online attacks. Read the rest of this entry »

Dorcas of Polbreen Mine

Dorcas was an elderly lady who lived in a cottage near Polbreen Mine in St. Agnes, Cornwall. One night, unexpectedly she committed suicide by throwing herself down a deep mine shaft. Her body was recovered and buried but her spirit is believed to live on in the mine.

Dorcas usually causes mischief by distracting the men from their work. One man was once called away by an unrecognised voice and no sooner had he left his work station than a huge rock feel and landed on the very place where he had been standing.

In the garden of The Railway Inn Hotel in St. Agnes a shaft from the mine can be found. It is reported that sometimes the spirit of a witch is seen emerging from the shaft, entering the inn and moving pictures on the wall.

Perhaps this is Dorcas herself, and perhaps the reason she committed suicide had something to do with witchcraft.

Cornwall is a very haunted duchy, with numerous tales of hauntings in locations such as Tintagel, Marazion and Mevagissey. Further East in England is the county of Devon, home to Dartmoor and Exmoor, plus haunted towns like Sidmouth and Teignmouth.
