Texas Tech Student Entrepreneur Repairs iPhones, Pays for College
Daniel Vitiello's iPhone repair business is booming. After fixing several hundred phones, Vitiello says he can pretty much do it with his eyes closed.
Now he's branching out to help other people start their own iPhone repair businesses. His new company will sell start-up packages that come with a "how-to" manual he's writing, parts to get started and initial technical support.

Digital manufacturing in both as art and technology is a new way of designing, re-creation and re-invention of reality. This paper considers, from an epistemological point of view, the process of digital fabrication and its hyperlinks to known and simulated reality, and its ontological nature. Through documentation and methodological approach to the construction of a Moebius strip, this paper analyzes the nature and specifications of digital manufacturing. For this purpose, it makes a study of s

Organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous silica materials and their application as host matrix for protei
Transparent, organic-inorganic hybrid mesoporous silica materials have been prepared successfully via the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis and cocondensation of tetramethyl orthosilicate and various organosiloxanes via the nonsurfactant templated sol-gel process. The organic groups were attached to the silica matrix via the non-hydrolyzable Si-C covalent bond and functioned as network modifier. The synthetic conditions have been systematically studied and optimized. Nitrogen adsorption and transmission

Included are sessions on anatomical, ablation, neurophysiological, and computer modeling techniques, and ways these techniques are used to study brain function. Each session consists of a brief quiz on assigned readings that provide background to the lab, a lecture that expands on the readings, and that week's laboratory. Lab reports required. Students r
How to Make an Ocean in a Bottle - Experiment at Home
Fun at home science demonstration about the polarity of liquids. Oils (non-polar) liquids will naturally separate from Water (polar). And if you dye the water you get a "bottled ocean".
