Scientists have genetically engineered peanuts to silence two of the genes responsible for the most common cause of fatal allergic reactions to food in the United States. While the research is unlikely to result in the creation of completely allergen-free peanuts, it could result in fewer outbreaks and even fewer deaths.br style=”clear: both;”/

img src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image001_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compLOS ANGELES #151; Scientific accidents have brought some of the most groundbreaking discoveries #151; vulcanized rubber, X-rays, penicillin #151; and now scientists at UCLA have accidentally discovered a material that could make digital cameras as we know them obsolete./p

pGraduate student Hsiang-Yu Chen was working on a new formula for solar cells when something went wrong. Instead of creating electricity when hit with light, the conductivity of the material she was working with changed./p

p”The original purpose [was] to make a solar cell more efficient,” says Chen. “However, during the research we found the solar cell phenomenon [had] disappeared.” Instead, the test material showed high gain photoconductivity, indicating potential use as a photo sensor./p

pThanks to this lucky mistake, a new breed of camera sensors that are cheaper, higher-resolution and have lower distortion could be on the horizon. Click through the gallery to learn how this new breakthrough works and tour the labs where the magic happens./p

pstrongLeft:/strong A piece of glass houses five strips of this new material, held between tweezers in a glove box./p
img src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image003_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compHere, materials science Ph.D. student Hsiang-Yu Chen takes a polymer sample from a tray inside a glove box. Researchers in this lab test hundreds of samples before a material with desirable properties is found./p

pWhen Chen made the discovery, she was working on plastic-like substances with quantum dots #151; nanoparticles (roughly the size of a virus) with properties similar to a semiconductor. /p

pThe nano-size quantum dots could give photo sensors much higher resolution than current models. And because this new photo-sensing material is a polymer film, it’s flexible and could someday be inexpensive to produce./p
img src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image005_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compAt left is a pair of stills that concentrate polymer solutions. Later, the solutions will be tested for their response to light. /p

pCurrently, the sensor in your camera that detects light and allows you to capture an image is made out of silicon. This makes it relatively expensive as well as flat and inflexible. /p

pHaving a flat sensor doesn’t seem like a big deal until you consider how your lens works. Lenses are curved, which shapes the image they see. When you project the spherical image onto a flat surface you get distortion around the edges. A flexible sensor would prevent this distortion./p
img src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image007_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compThe polymer- and metal-coated slide from the first photo of the gallery is now placed into an electrode clip (the white, rectangular portion of the setup). The electrodes on the clip will enable sensors to take readings from the material when it’s exposed to light./pimg src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image009_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compThe sample in the electrode clip is inserted into the test chassis. The wires on the right send any electrical activity from the material to a computer for analysis./pimg src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image011_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compA very bright, wide-spectrum light source is connected to the glove box. It’s attached to the portal using a standoff header that keeps the light a fixed distance from the sample. The light appears blue because the light in the room has a yellow cast, it’s actually much closer to the color of daylight./pimg src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image013_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compHsiang-Yu Chen checks the results of the test using a computer and laboratory graphing software. The graphs show the response levels to the light that the material exhibited. /p

pIn her initial experiment she was expecting to see electricity produced when the light hit the material, but instead the light stopped the flow of electricity. This means that her material acted as a photo detector instead of a solar cell. /p

pThe lab still remains committed to developing a better solar panel, but now that their findings have been published it may only be a matter of time before camera companies take notice of the technology./p
img src=’http://www.wired.com/images/slideshow/2008/12/gallery_photodetector/image015_t.jpg’/img: Photo: Dave Bullock/Wired.compAn atomic force microscope is used to image the polymer sample to view its physical makeup. The AFM traces the surface of the polymer with a nanoscopic needle, the same way the needle on your record player tracks over vinyl. /p
p
This needle is attached to a cantilever that reflects a laser beam, which then determines the three-dimensional topography of the surface. Inset is the resulting micrograph of the surface from the AFM. This view allows researchers to make sure the quantum dots are properly aligning in polymer./p

The level of detail visible from the TEM micrographs is a few hundred nanometers. Inset is the micrograph created by the TEM of the photosensitive polymer. /pbr style=”clear: both;”/

pstrong1952:/strong It’s front-page news when George Jorgensen Jr. is reborn as Christine Jorgensen, gaining international celebrity and notoriety as the first widely known person to undergo a successful sex-change operation./p

pJorgensen, who grew up in the Bronx, in her words, a “frail, tow-headed, introverted little boy who ran from fistfights and rough-and-tumble games,” was drafted into the Army just after World War II. Military service only reinforced Jorgensen’s belief that she was, in fact, a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen”a woman trapped inside a man’s body/a./p

pAfter receiving her discharge, Jorgensen returned home and first heard about “sex-reassignment surgery,” which was being performed only in Sweden. (It was illegal almost everywhere else, including the United States.)/p

pEncouraged, Jorgensen began taking female hormones on her own, then headed for Sweden. She never made it. Stopping in Denmark to visit relatives in Copenhagen, Jorgensen was introduced to Christian Hamburger, a Danish surgeon who specialized in the kind of surgery she was seeking. He agreed to take the case and put his patient on a href=”http://www.transgenderzone.com/research/hrt.htm”hormone-replacement therapy/a as they prepared for surgery./p

pSeveral surgeries were required, the first one consisting of castration, which was only carried out after permission was obtained from the Danish minister of justice./p

pAt the time of Jorgensen’s transformation, Hamburger did not give her an artificial vagina, so she remained “anatomically incorrect” for several years before undergoing a vaginoplasty in the United States./p

pThe hormone therapy resulted in profound changes to Jorgensen’s body. Fat was redistributed, and she began to take on the contours of a woman. Subsequent surgeries completed the process until she was ready to step into the spotlight./p

pJorgensen’s sex change, which may have been leaked to the press by Jorgensen herself, hit the headlines Dec. 1, creating an international sensation. “a href=”http://www.christinejorgensen.org/MainPages/Home.html”Ex-GI Becomes Blonde Beauty/a” screamed the banner of Jorgensen’s hometown citeNew York Daily News/cite./p

pIn fact, Jorgensen was not the first person to undergo sex-reassignment surgery. During the rollicking Weimar period, German doctors performed the surgery on at least two patients. The difference, in Jorgensen’s case, was that she underwent hormone-replacement therapy in conjunction with the surgery. The earlier surgeries were strictly cut-and-paste./p

pAlthough Jorgensen complained frequently about the jackals of the press, she did become something of a publicity hound and took most of the tasteless remarks with good grace, laughing off jokes such as, “Christine Jorgensen went abroad and came back a broad.”/p

pShe turned to acting and became a nightclub singer as well, performing, predictably, “I Enjoy Being a Girl.”/p

pBut a href=”http://www.newsday.com/community/guide/lihistory/ny-history-hptjorg,0,5016969.story”Christine Jorgensen’s world/a was not an enlightened one, particularly when it came to transgenderism. She paid the cost for this lack of sophistication. A first announced engagement fell through, and a second one failed as well, when the state of New York refused to issue the couple a marriage license. Her intended husband also lost his job when the marriage plans became known./p

pShe later traveled the lecture circuit, talking about her experiences and advocating for the nascent transgender cause./p

pJorgensen died of cancer in 1989, a few weeks short of age 63./p

Chances are you use at least two major social networks - 49 million people, for example, visited both MySpace and Facebook in October 2008 (Comscore, worldwide). Nearly 7 million people in the UK use both Bebo and Facebook. A lot of people maintain very different friend lists on LinkedIn than MySpace or Facebook. Etc. And when you add in niche social sites like YouTube, Flickr, etc., there’s even more overlap among users.

There has never been an effective way of aggregating and merging all the data and activity on these sites into a single user interface. A new venture backed Brazilian-based started called Power.com launches today, though, that aims to do just that. They’re calling what they do “social inter-networking” because it allows users to view and interact with all of their social networks at once. Data is aggregated, and the sites themselves, if accessed via the Power.com site, are marked up with added features in a way that Greasemonkey users are familiar with.

The service is unknown in the U.S. today, although it’s been live since August and boasts 5 million users already. Until today it supported just a few social networks, notably Orkut. Now, though, the service supports users from Facebook, MySpace, Bebo, Orkut, Hi5 and a number of niche networks like YouTube.
