Obama, EU leaders meet amid European debt concerns (AP)

WASHINGTON ? President Barack Obama and European Union leaders are meeting at the White House amid financial instability in Europe that could threaten the U.S. economy.

The day-long summit comes as analysts warn that the euro could be days away from collapsing. The U.S. maintains that Europe has the capacity to address its financial woes, but officials acknowledge that economic problems in Europe can negatively impact the U.S.

The White House says other topics on the agenda at the U.S.-E.U. summit include supporting democracy in the Middle East and North Africa, cooperation on counterterrorism and transatlantic law enforcement, and Iran.

The European Union is being representing in the meetings with Obama by European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, and High Representative Catherine Ashton.

Cambridge researchers translate graphene into printable circuitry material, bring basic 'Skynet' factory to you


Yes, graphene is amazing and possesses many useful / otherworldly properties. The ability to use graphene itself to print flexible, transparent thin-film transistors via an inkjet printer is just another one of them. Over at the University of Cambridge, researchers have discovered that it's possible to print standard CMOS transistors using a graphene component. Provided the graphene is chipped off a block of graphite using a chemical solvent and the larger (potentially print-head blocking) chips are removed, it can be turned into a polymer ink which can then run through a conventional inkjet printer. The potential result of this is flexible, transparent and wearable computer circuitry coming from ordinary printers as opposed to several multi-million-dollar machines in a factory, which has long been the historical standard. Besides, who wouldn't want to print their own circuitry on a PhotoSmart MFP rather than whatever report might be due the next day?
