Leaders of the Italian house music movement of the late '80s, Black Box was in the main comprised of lodge DJ Daniele Davoli, information processing system whiz Mirko Limoni and classical clarinettist Valeric Semplici, a three-base hit of studio apartment musicians known conjointly as the Groove Groove Melody production team. Acclaimed among the well-nigh successful producers in all of Italian dancing music, Groove Groove Melody helmed lashings of singles each class at their peak; in 1989 they teamed with singer and poser Katrin (born Catherine Quinol) as Black Box, debuting with the individual "Ride on Time." Not only was the phonograph record a vast hit at place, merely it shortly crossed o'er into the British pop charts, landing at the number one maculation for six-spot back-to-back weeks despite the tilt which erupted in the wake of the discovery that it included uncredited samples of Loleatta Holloway's disco music single "Love Sensation." A series of Black Box hits followed, among them "I Don't Know Anybody Else" (a Top Ten smash in the U.S. as substantially) and "Everybody Everybody," which featured vocals by Martha Wash; the group's debut LP, 1990's Dreamworld, was as well a success. They returned in 1991 with "Strike It Up," some other American Top Ten daybook entry, as well as the Sundry Up! accumulation; additionally, the Groove Groove Melody police squad scored with material recorded under a miscellany of other aliases, among them Starlight ("Numero Uno") and Mixmaster ("Heroic Piano"). After a long hiatus, Black Box returned in 1996 with the record album Positive Attitude, which went for the most part unnoticed.

Clemson Scientists Put A (nano) Spring In Their Step

� Electronic devices get down smaller and more complex every year. It turns out that fragility is the price for miniaturization, especially when it comes to minuscule devices, such as cell phones, hit the floor. Wouldn't it be groovy if they bounced instead of cracked when dropped?


A squad of Clemson University researchers, led by Apparao Rao, professor of physics, has invented a way to make beds of lilliputian, shock-absorbing carbon springs which possibly could be exploited to protect delicate objects from negative impacts. With collaborators at the University of California at San Diego, the team has shown that layers of these petite springs called coiled carbon paper nanotubes, each a chiliad times smaller than a human hair's-breadth, can playact as highly resilient cushion absorbers.


Similar coiled carbon paper nanotubes own been made before, thus far Clemson researchers say this method is unique since beds of coiled atomic number 6 nanotubes can be grown in a single step using a proprietary hydrocarbon-catalyst mixture.


The group too envisions coiled nanotubes in soldiers' body armor, railcar bumpers and bushings and even as cushioning elements in shoe soles.


"The problem we have faced in the past is producing sufficiency of these coiled carbon copy nanotubes at a reasonable cost to make a difference," said Rao. "Because our current method produces coiled nanotubes quickly in high give, it nates be readily scaled up to industrial levels. After formation, the coiled nanotubes can be peeled off in unitary piece and placed on other surfaces to form instant padding coatings."


In earlier studies, Rao and his team, along with UCSD collaborators, tested more conventional uncoiled carbon nanotubes against coil-shaped nanotubes. When a stainless steel steel ball was dropped onto a single carbon nanotube layer, the coiled nanotubes completely recovered from the impact, spell the straight ones did not.


"It's like an egg flip," said Rao. "If you move your hand backward as you catch the egg and increase the time of contact over which the impact occurs, the wallop will be less forceful and the egg will not violate. It is the same phenomenon experient in spotting a baseball game."


In former work, Rao's group highly-developed a process that coaxes a traditionally straight carbon copy nanotube to split into a "Y" shape. When powered by electrical voltages, the Y-branched nanotubes carry like bantam switches or transistors that process selective information.


"Our studies with carbon nanotubes have been ongoing for quite some time," said Rao. "Each gradation along the way has led to the following breakthrough, and each fourth dimension we've knowing more around how they grow and what their applications could be. We believe that carbon nanotubes have wondrous potential for the lives of each one of us."
