Team Ironmods Wins 'Power of 3' OC Award.

The the name Team Ironmods sounds familiar to you, itň€™s because the it was the winner of our Tomň€™s Hardware Overdrive Overclocking Championship 2008. Now Team Ironmods is continuing its success since winning our international competition (and helping us stay out of trouble from the fire department). The three-man team, composed of Jeremiah Allen, Jake Crimmins and Ton Khowdee, entered into an inter-forum overclocking competition known as Forum Warz. Team Ironmods chose to represent the OC Forums in the UX Class -- the ň€śunlimited extremeň€ť heavy weight class -- and used whatever computer parts, cooling methods, tweaks, and mods to achieve top results. Proving that Team Ironmodň€™s performance at our own Overdrive event wasnň€™t a fluke, the trio was crowned with the title "Power of 3" award for obtaining the highest score out of 40 other competing three-man teams. Our congratulations to them! Right now we at Tomň€™s Hardware are currently partnering with AMD for our Virtual Overclocking Competition. Weň€™re half way through with our Phenom II X4 940 winner already found, and the next contest starts today! Weň€™ve invited Team Ironmods to be present at our championsň€™ ceremony in LA at the end of our AMD competition, hopefully for a little bit more overclocking of their own as our two winners attempt to recreate and improve on their results. Stay tuned for more updates on our ongoing contest. Check out the details of our AMD Phenom X3 720 overclocking competition here!

A photonic 'lab-on-a-chip'.
Georgia Tech researchers have shrunk an optical device called wavelength demultipler (WD) by combining into one crystal three unique properties of photonics crystals. This optical discovery opens the way to sophisticated and cheap biosensors mounted on "lab-on-a-chip" devices - sensors to run blood tests, detect chemicals in water supplies or for drug testing.
