Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

CERN produce, trap antimatter: BIG breakthrough in physics!

The Swiss particle physics laboratory CERN announced on November 17, 2010, that it has advanced one important step to develop 'techniques to understand one of the Universe's open questions: is there a difference between matter and antimatter?'
Check out the home website of the journal Nature, which highlights this story: http://www.nature.com/
So far the CERN facility has produced thousands of anti-atoms. The researchers at CERN have trapped a few of them; in fact, 38 anti-hydrogen atoms in all.
The researchers at CERN first produce them in a vacuum inside the ALPHA experiment, and then trap them by holding them away from matter with a strong magnetic field (a magnetic trap).
They have to separate matter atoms from anti-matter atoms because if anti-matter comes in contact with matter, the collision annihilates all atoms that come together, whether they are matter or anti-matter).
With the antimatter trapped inside the ALPHA experiment, researchers can now conduct experiments on them.

You think you have a disaster recovery plan?
Think again. Most businesses only have PART of a DR plan - and this spells business disaster in the event of an IT disaster.
