Organic electronics: When TTF met TCNQ

The observation of metallic conductivity at interfaces between layers of organic insulators opens the way to the realization of a wide range of electronic systems that cannot be prepared in bulk organic materials.

	A ten-kilo GSM mobile phone network will allow rescue workers to set up communications just hours, or even minutes, after a man-made or natural catastrophe. When disaster strikes communications are often one of the first infrastructures to go down. But it is exactly when effective communications are most desperately needed.

	Biocomposites has announced that the company's unique bone graft substitute, geneX putty, has received FDA 510(k) clearance. geneX is a resorbable bone graft material manufactured through a proprietary process that confers the product with a reproducible negative surface charge. This property stimulates bone cell activity, accelerating bone formation by harnessing key proteins and directing osteoblast adhesion and proliferation for rapid osteogenesis.

•	Making a big electric motor from scratch
	I searched the archives and found quite a bit already discussed here about making very simple and small electric motors from scratch. What I want to do is to make a fairly large and powerful one (say, somewhere around the size of a coffee can). This is for a sculpture project, and the motor will be driving a kinetic mechanism. I'm pretty handy, have a extensive range of tools and am comfortable working with high voltage. What I am not, however, is knowledgeable about designing or making electric motors; hence my questions. I understand that I'll need to wind armatures and so forth, but I don't know what the advantages/disadvantages would be of making a DC versus an AC motor (either power could be supplied), nor do I really understand the differences between the various types of those two. The motor needs to be able to start by itself under load (as opposed to some homemade electric motors that seem to need a nudge to get going). Simplicity and ease of construction would be a plus, and the use of pre-1970s technology is essential. Anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.

•	Reclaimed Wastewater Benefits Florida's Citrus Orchards
	The Sunshine State has seen rapid growth in population during the last 50 years. Naturally, along with population increases, environmental concerns about pollution of surface waters by treated wastewater have caused many communities to consider alternate ways to use secondary-treated, or reclaimed, wastewater. In a study supported by the city of Orlando and Orange County (Fla.), researchers set out to determine whether long-term irrigation with treated municipal wastewater reduced citrus tree health or created increases in soil contaminants.
