A true 3D display has been a dream of many for years. Although various three-dimensional technologies have been developed in recent years, few are able to display real time 3D images and video from any angle in the same way an object would appear to us in the real world. This article will present one such technology called Perspecta and explore its current and future capabilities and uses.

In two years time a technology that will enable users to speak without uttering a sound might become commercially available. The ability to communicate silently could assist us in every day situations such as a phone conversation on a crowded subway or simply anytime we'd prefer that others wouldn't hear us. It could aid security and special operations forces, people with vocal cord problems, and might even find a place in gaming.

A prototype of a tiny wireless chip capable of storing and transmitting data was recently revealed by HP. When the new chip hits the market in about two years, it will enable a variety of applications ranging from digital wristbands that store patient medical information to a new form of storing digital versions of documents or sound bytes on paper and printed pictures that can be accessed using a reader-equipped device. This article will examine the new chip and its numerous potential applications.

Theoretician Susskind has been interviewed at New Scientist journal. The interview reflects the current ugly state of the string program: no real advance in the initial objective of developing a theory of `everything' due to Landscape difficulty.
Scientific supplies company Indigo® Instruments isn't only about supplying scientific kit to schools technicians, homeschoolers, and students working on their science fair projects. No! A fair few molecular models and countless other items have made their way to Hollywood, got themselves on the small screen, and featured in some offbeat situations.
VP Stephan Logan explains how Rob Cohen's 2005 movie "Stealth" is described on the Internet Movie Database as "Surprisingly enjoyable". Why? Because a plot line based on three pilots deeply ensconced in a top-secret military program struggling to bring an artificial intelligence program under control before it initiates WWIII sounds just so unsurprising. The movie features intense action, violence and innuendo. But, far more excitingly it also features a 17-layer DNA model from Indigo®. So, for what was it those pilots needed a model of DNA? You'll have to watch the movie to find out.

For 10 years, Rick Piltz worked for the U.S. federal program that coordinates global climate change research for NASA, the U.S. EPA, the National Science Foundation, and other federal agencies. Once called the U.S. Global Change Research Program, it was renamed by President George W. Bush as the U.S. Climate Change Science Program.
But earlier this year, Piltz--tired of climate change science being misused and abused--quit his job and started talking to the press. You can read an interview with him in the ACS journal ES&T

Earlier this month, we sent your questions to E. T. and Elizabeth Bryan, co-creators and publishers of Gremlin Trouble and other science-fiction oriented comics. They respond, "We're so delighted with the write-up on 'Gremlin Trouble' -- it's always fun when
it gets good attention like this." Thank you, E. T. and Liz,
for letting us interview you! So, read on, and enjoy the interview!

Well, I pondered how to capture a description for the title of this
interview. "Ask Cartoonists E. T. and Elizabeth Bryan"? After all, they have created the comic Gremlin Trouble (reviewed here on SciScoop!), and are hard at work on their next project (about which they are revealing just enough to tease their fans mercilessly!). "Ask Comic Book Publishers E. T. and Elizabeth Bryan"? After all, they have created their own publishing company, Anti-Ballistic Pixelations, which has had a regular presence at the annual San Diego
Comic-Con. "Ask Engineering Geeks E. T. and Elizabeth Bryan"? After all, they both work as engineers, and E. T. has even drawn a comic about one of the projects he's worked on -- a delightful cartoon History
of GPS! In the end, I went with the most unique appelation of all -- and I think everyone can agree that it fits.
E. T. and Liz have kindly agreed to be interviewed here at SciScoop. Remember, YOU ask the questions! Submit your questions all week as comments on this story, and rate the questions of others, and at the end of Friday, Feburary 11 the top-rated questions will be passed on to the Bryans.
