In a move that brings mankind another step closer to being able to create artificial life forms from scratch, chemists from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and Harvard University have created artificial self-assembling cell membranes using a novel chemical reaction.

Now an international team of scientists have demonstrated that perfectly secure cloud computing is possible by combining the power of quantum computing with the security of quantum cryptography. They carried out what they claim is the first demonstration of “blind quantum computing,” in which a quantum computation was carried out with the input, computation, and output all remaining unknown to the computer, and therefore, also any eavesdroppers. <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/quantum-cloud-computing-security/21260/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/music/" style="float: left; ">MUSIC</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/chord-dice/21262/">Chord Dice give songwriters a chance</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/author/gizmag-team/">Gizmag Team</a></p> <p><em>21:28 January 29, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/chord-dice/21262/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/chord-dice.jpg" title="Chord Dice songwriting and teaching tool" alt="Chord Dice songwriting and teaching tool"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>We uncovered lots of fantastic technology-driven innovations at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/winter-namm-2012/" target="_blank">NAMM</a> recently, but as we saw with <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/pocketstrings-guitar-practice-tool/21160/" target="_blank">PocketStrings</a>, not all good ideas are built around transistors.

While its employees might order a mocha latte, the company is interested in the grinds. Virus' StayWarm line uses what it calls Coffee Char, or coffee charcoal in the construction of the fabric. The grounds are recycled and processed into a natural fiber to produce a comfortable base layer fabric that traps heat close to the skin. <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/virus-stay-warm-base-layer-coffee-char/21241/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/electronics/" style="float: left; ">ELECTRONICS</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/feedair-personalized-news-ticker/21219/">Feedair personalized news ticker keeps you in the loop</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bryan-clark/">Bryan Clark</a></p> <p><em>16:06 January 29, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/feedair-personalized-news-ticker/21219/pictures">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/feedair-personalized-news-ticker/21219/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/feedair.png" title="Feedair personalized news ticker" alt="Feedair personalized news ticker"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Laptops, tablets, smartphones ... there are plenty of options out there when it comes to managing the constant stream of information we find ourselves faced with - here's another.

Many of these IEDs take the form of roadside bombs, which are hidden on or alongside a road, then detonated when a moving vehicle passes near them. While there is more than one way of causing these bombs to detonate, they are often set off by a hidden human observer, using a radio-control device. Forces using the new Vehicle Protection Jammer from EADS subsidiary Cassidian, however, should find themselves at a greatly-reduced risk of such attacks. <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/vehicle-protection-jammer-ieds/21252/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/page/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/page/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/page/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/page/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/page/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120130064251/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
