Matrox extends DualHead2Go line of external multi-display adapters

Matrox has updated its line of DualHead2Go external multi-display adapters with the simultaneous release of the DualHead2Go Digital SE and DualHead2Go Digital ME (Mac Edition). While both the SE and ME let users connect up to two monitors, the SE model features multi-GXM (Graphics eXpansion Module) support that allows two adapters to be connected to a single system to provide a total of up to four displays.

Both the ME and SE share the same palm-sized form-factor, albeit with a different finish – black for the SE and, you guessed it, brushed aluminum for the ME. While the SE connects to a system’s DisplayPort video output, the ME connects via a computer’s Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port. But that - and the ability to connect two SE's together to provide four external displays - is pretty much where the differences end.

Both units feature a DisplayPort input and two DVI-D outputs, along with a powered USB port to supply power for the device – although Matrox also sells a power adapter kit if there’s no powered USB available on your system. Both models output a maximum resolution of 3840x1200 across two displays – that’s 1920x1200 for each.

While the DualHead2Go Digital ME is aimed at Mac users and the SE targets PC users, both units are compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and Server 2003/08, Mac OS X 10.4 and above, and Linux. Both versions also come with Mac or PC compatible Matrox PowerDesk desktop management software for configuring multi-display setups.

They also share the same US$179 price tag and come with a USB cable and the required cable to connect the device to a system - DisplayPort to DisplayPort for the SE and Mini-DisplayPort to DisplayPort for the ME. However, you'll have to source your own cables to connect the device to the external monitors..

Modular housing concept boasts 64 possible combinations

Italian Designer Gabriel Aramu has conceptualized a modular housing system that seems to offer endless possibilities. Dubbed "Sliding Hub," these prefabricated cubes join together to create a temporary housing solution for multiple situations. In the event that emergency shelters are required, the modules can be packed and transported to any destination. On arrival, the modules are easily joined together, with the flexibility to house individuals, small groups or large numbers without limitation. Each module incorporates an insulation system suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. In addition, the temporary accommodation units provide a comfortable standard of living, important to natural disaster victims. Constructed with steel reinforcements, numerous modules can be assembled together to create various sizes and shapes, whilst sliding them open creates large internal spaces. According to Aramu, the system can be configured 64 different ways, wh...

CRISPR technology

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has recently occupied the Olympus of life-changing discoveries. In a couple of years this revolutionary technique that enables changing genomes in a fast and easier way has found an honored place in many areas of science, healthcare and industry. CRISPR deserves the name of a game changer and continues to be explored by scientists in different applications far beyond the walls of research laboratories. Despite continuous discussions about ethical limits of genome modifications, customizing of genomes in a wisely regulated way might have a lot of positive effects. Editas Medicine who was one of the pioneers of industrial applications of CRISPR technique, in a couple of years has reached enormous results in a field of medicine. Leaving out the discussions about ethical issues related to human germ line editing ,  flash4science focuses today on the use of CRISPR in food industry. Recent...
