Worlds first Rice Bread Cooker Gopan from Sanyo is a smash hit in Japan: Sanyo’s Gopan, a machine that bakes bread from rice, has been such a smash hit since its November debut that the manufacturer has had to stop taking orders. The Gopan represents seven years of cross-division effort by Sanyo engineers. Sanyo hopes Gopan will hopefully help curb Japan's long-declining rice consumption and raise the nation's food self-sufficiency, the worst among major industrialized countries. Sanyo Gopan turns uncooked rice, along with other ingredients including salt and yeast, into a fresh loaf in about four hours at the push of a button.

Samsung announces NX11 large-sensor mirrorless interchangeable lens camera with i-Function: Samsung announced today the launch of the NX11 - the latest addition to the highly successful NX family of cameras. The Samsung NX11 is an upgraded model based on the NX10, compatible with the new i-Function lens, introduced for the NX100. The NX11 will come complete with an 18-55mm i-Function lens, as well as two new i-Function lenses, a 20mm pancake and a 20-50mm zoom silver colour lens. Alongside the built-in flash and built-in electronic VGA (640x480) viewfinder, the NX11 has a 3.0” AMOLED LCD screen. The AMOLED screen reduces the glare from sunlight so the consumer can see their images under any lighting conditions, including sunlight. The NX11 also has a focus on usability, with a change in the grip design to make shooting easier and more comfortable for users.

LG LW6500- CINEMA 3DTM TV receives worlds first Flicker Free certification from Intertek and TÜV: At the 2011 CES in Las Vegas, LG will unveil the LW6500, a CINEMA 3DTM TV designed to take 3D TV to new heights of brightness and clarity. The LG LW6500’s outstanding 3D picture begins with LG’s proprietary Film-type Patterned Retarder (FPR) panel, which optimizes the separation of images for the left and right eyes. The images are then filtered through specially designed glasses to give viewers truly crisp, blur-free images that leap off the screen. Because LG’s CINEMA 3DTM technology does not require shutter glasses, images displayed on the LW6500 are entirely free of flicker. This innovation resulted in the LW6500 receiving a “Flicker Free” certification from Intertek and TÜV, two of the most respected inspection and certification bodies in the world. The LW6500 is the first 3D TV in the world to receive this designation. The LG LW6500 also improves picture quality with 3D Light Boost, a thin film covering the screen that ensures 3D images are shown at maximum brightness.

NEC succeeds in the World's First Simulation-based Prediction of Photochemical Reactions inside Carbon Nanotubes: NEC announced today that it succeeded in the world's first simulation-based prediction of laser-induced photochemical reactions that can efficiently eject a hydrogen atom from a hydrogen chloride molecule trapped inside a carbon nanotube. The simulation was conducted on the Earth Simulator which NEC deployed for the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. These results are expected to pave the way for the quantity synthesis of not only hydrogen, but also inexpensive materials through the facilitation of known photochemical reactions due to the laser pulse irradiation, as well as the development of new materials.
