Sterling D. Allan writes: "After holding it to their chest for over a year, the Nova Institute of Technology has allowed their fruitful scientific monograph to be published. Y-Bias and Angularity: Self-Organizing Criticality — From the Zero Point to Infinity describes a newly developed model of scalar physics that incorporates all the rules of self-organizing criticality [P. Bak et al] into a simple, elegant framework. As a technology incubator company, they say that based on the precepts included in this new model, they "have successfully developed, tested and independently verified four entirely new materials, including (1) a positively charged ZnO2 thin film, (2) a transparent electrically conductive thin film with virtually no capacitance and ambient resistance of less than 2 ohms per square, regardless of surface area, (3) a semi-conductor-based thermal electric generator that converts heat to electrical power at efficiencies ranging between 38% — 45%, between temperatures ranging from 1C — 240C, and (4) a new material that has been shown to fluoresce, emit and lase across the visible spectrum [tunable] in nano-particle sizes, using direct electrical stimulation rather up or down pumping.""
