Accident Could Lead To Better Digital Cameras

Dave Bullock (eecue) writes "Scientists at UCLA have accidentally created a material that will some day give us better, faster, cheaper, more flexible digital cameras. I toured their lab and shot a photo essay for Wired. Personally I'm looking forward to a quantum-dot embedded camera sensor someday soon. 'Graduate 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. "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.'"

  1. The violation of Rob Malda by Smidge207 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda stepped off the bus and was led into the yard of the Main
    State Correctional Institute. He had been given ten years for participating in
    a stock fraud. Five with good behavior. Years spent basking in the glow of a
    CRT had been hard on him. His body was frail, his skin pallid. He knew he could
    never make it through ten years in the general population with his virginity
    intact. He had to get into solitary.

    As soon as the burly guard unshackled him he made his move. Exhaling a feminine
    "hmmph" he weakly slapped the guard. He was quickly taken to the ground,
    receiving a swift kick to the ribs before being restrained. As he was dragged
    to the solitary confinement cell he felt nothing but relief. "At least in
    solitary," he thought "I'll be safe." Unfortunately for Rob he had picked the
    wrong guard to mess with.

    The next few days were uneventful. The time in his cell he spent evenly between
    sleeping, reading a "Perl for Dummies" book he had gotten from the book cart,
    and masturbating furiously. His self-flagellation was interrupted on the fourth
    day. The burly guard he had attacked earlier stepped into his cell. The gleam
    in the guards eye and the mean grin on his face made Rob's pecker quickly
    shrivel in his hand. "You fucked with the wrong man when you fucked with
    Michael Simms," said the guard. "The inmates here call me The Asshole for a
    reason. Now come with me, punk."

    The guard led him down the hall to one of several empty shower stalls. He
    roughly threw Rob in the stall and locked the door. Rob was petrified. His mind
    raced as he imagined the myriad of different tortures that could be in store
    for him. His worst fears were confirmed when the guard returned. In his hands
    were a short black dress, black stilleto heels, and a curly blonde wig. "Strip
    down and put this on, bitch." Rob did as instructed and was pleased to notice
    that the dress fit well and the heels gave him a nice slimming effect. The
    burly guard admired the drag queen. "The GNAA is gonna love you!"

    The guard left the shower stall, only to return minutes later. He opened the
    door and led 20 large black men into the stall. "Rob, meet the Gay Nigger
    Association of America. GNAA, meet Rob. I'm sure you all will get along fine."
    With that the guard slammed the shower door closed and walked away laughing.

    The men approached Rob, backing him into a corner. The apparent leader stepped
    forward. "No matter what I'm gonna fuck that purdy lil' ass of yours. Now I can
    fuck it dry or you can lube it up for me." Rob knew he had no choice. He
    kneeled in front of the leader, who began to slap his face with his 10 black
    inches. Puss from syphilictic sores quickly covered Rob's cheeks. When the
    leader was sufficiently aroused he placed his throbbing cock up to Rob's lips.
    As soon as Rob opened his mouth the leader violently shoved his manhood to the
    back of Rob's throat and exclaimed "Swallow my shit you cracker bitch!" Rob
    gagged as he was violently face fucked.

    Just when he was about to pass out the leader pulled out, turned him around and
    shoved his cock into Rob's ass. Rob began to scream in agony but his cries were
    quickly muffled by one of the other gang member's cocks. They rode him like
    that for the better part of an hour. When one man finished another quickly took
    his place. Just as Rob was getting used to the throbbing pain in his anus the
    men stopped. One man lay down on the floor and Rob was told to get on top of
    him and take his dick inside him. Exhausted and humiliated, Rob had no will
    left to fight. As soon as he inserted the penis another man came up behind him
    and began to force his cock into Rob's already filled anus. Again his screams
    of agony were muffled, this time by a smelly black anus.

    For another hour he was violated in this way. When the men were finished with
    him he couldn't walk and his mouth was filled with dingleberries and ass hairs.
    Before they all left the leader had some parting words for Rob: "Thanks for
    that sweet piece of ass, punk. We'll see you again tomorrow. Oh by the way, we
    all have AIDS." It was going to be a long ten years for Rob.
