Graphene is a single layer of graphite, which is found in the humble pencil. The transistor is the key building block of microchips and the basis for almost all electronics.
Dr Kostya Novoselov and Professor Andre Geim from The School of Physics and Astronomy at The University of Manchester have been leading research into the potential application of graphene in electronics and were the first to separate a sheet of the material from graphite
Super material
Graphene has been hailed as a super material because it has many potential applications. It is a flat molecule, with only the thickness of an atom, and both very stable and robust.

10) Alien Hominid HD
What began as a tough flash game became a legitimate phenomenon on several consoles, staying very difficult throughout.
9) Ikaruga by TREASURE Co., Ltd.
In a nod to classic top-down shooters, Ikaruga brings in all of the elements that has made the genre popular, including the steep difficulty.
8) R-Type by Hudson

1337pwn, who developed the Xbox Live application for iPhone (also compatible on browsers, Blackberries, etc.) recently developed a Warhawk scoreboard application, too.
There’s not much functionality to the “Warhawk” application yet, and it’s only designed for use on the iPhone and iPod Touch. You can view it through a browser just fine, though. The application is a little limited, however, because Sony doesn’t have a community outreach program yet.
“Third party game publishers don’t have access to PSN friends list information on the platform right now,” said 1337pwn founder Det Ansinn.
“It’s tough to predict when that might change. Given some of their initiativ... More »

Despite what some rumour mongers would like for you to believe, no, Home is NOT a part of this update.
And so the wait continues...
While it was an impressive fake, a video recently surfacing on YouTube claiming to be the Grand Theft Auto IV intro provides more than enough suspicion to be confirmed bogus.
From the start, a short glimpse of the spine of the box revealed dodgy, uneven work, as captured below. A thin manual also presented more doubt.
After an unnecessary cut to the camera pointing at the screen, the intro itself contained an odd choice of music. Moreover, all of the pictures are from previously shown artwork, while official GTA intros contain cinematic scenes, like San Andreas.
All that, coupled with the fact that the person who made and posted the video on YouTube claimed to withhold any gameplay footage so that it wouldn’t “ruin the game for you,” is all we need to know.

We argued that this was evident in the way Microsoft had gone about marketing the Xbox 360 version of the game. We also pointed out how Sony had, it appeared, done very little in response (you’ll have to read it for the full explanation).
Now we know why.
As you have no doubt read, it has come to light that a new version of the PS3 will be made available in time for the launch of GTA IV. It is the 40GB model of the console, but it comes bundled with GTA IV. This is a big, big deal. Especially as the package doesn’t cost any more money than the unbundled version of the console.
The deal is only officially announced for a UK release, but we’ve been given the tip-off that Australia will receive the deal too… in fact ... More »
Earlier last week, one of the PS3 Devs sent his PS3 Debug/TEST unit off to another resident Dev (who also successfully did a PS3 Retail Flash dump early last year) to have the PS3 Flash dumped.
Well, it has been done! In an amazing feat taking all of 10 minutes, Courier pulled the two PS3 NAND Flash chips from the PS3 TEST and dumped them. Nothing like a hot air rework station in the hands of a professional!
So, the PS3 TEST Flash has been dumped! We also had a chance to do a preliminary analysis on it as we have seen and catalogued nearly 15 seperate PS3 Retail Flash dumps- and there is only (1) constant string in the section we are examining in all of them.
But in the PS3 TEST, it differs!!
More information will be posted soon, but the plan is now to replace said data on a Retail PS3 system, and by doing so modifying its identity to pass the update verification so t... More »
