Nearly 80% of Europe will experience a solar eclipse this Friday, where the moon will blot up to 98% of the sun's disc - but experts have strictly warned against taking selfies during the phenomenon.
The future of password protection could be here soon, scientists from the University of Houston claim, if a "radically new approach to biometrics" comes to fruition. University of Houston Eckhard Pfeiffer Professor Ioannis Kakadiaris and...
Scientists at the University of Utah have developed a way to convert the wasted heat in electronic devices into sound and then electricity, promising cooler, greener, and perhaps louder, computers and other machines. Orest Symko,...
New research results presented today could bring companies such as Intel much closer to that goal of offering notebooks that achieve a battery running time of 8 hours and more. Researchers of the...
At Waseda University, three scientists by the names of Hiroyuki Nishide, Hiroaki Konishi and Takeo Suga have developed a new polymer-based 200 nanometres thick rechargeable battery that incorporates a high charge/discharge capacity, yet it is...
Forget speech-recognition software: How about typing a letter just by thinking it? In a quiet corner of the Cebit trade show a small Austrian company is showing a "brain-computer interface," a technology that could one...
British-based scientists have created graphene, supposedly the thinnest material in the world: a one atom thick layer of carbon formed in hexagonal gropus. The substance, which is about 200,000 thinner than a human hair, was...
Scientists at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health have found that clinically depressed people's performance in a 3-D video game suggests spatial memory, which tells the brain where objects are located and their orientation,...
University of Washington researchers are working hard on an electronic chip that may help establish new nerve connections in the part of the brain that controls movement. This implantable chip strengthens weak connections and may...
Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton have created a tool which uses small ultra-sound pulses to stimulate the growth of teeth and bones. The device will be able to help re-grow teeth that...
How can you find information about Condoleezza Rice on the Internet? Type in "2*#7423". That is if you have a copy of a prototype program from Microsoft Research currently named The Wild Thing. The...
Microsoft chairman and chief software architect Bill Gates said Monday that there is a shortage of qualified computer science engineers for hire in the U.S., a problem that is reflective of the decline of interest...
In a new study conducted at the Louisiana State University Health Science Center, New Orleans, scientists have discovered a new approach to treating medically intractable hiccups. Dr. Bryan R. Payne, and Dr. Robert Tiel by...
Excited Mars mission scientists on Thursday released spectacular pictures of cliff-like rocks they hope will provide further clues about the extent of water on the red planet. Scientists at the Mars mission headquarters in Pasadena...
Scientists said on Wednesday they had created a new form of matter and predicted it could help lead to the next generation of superconductors for use in electricity generation, more efficient trains and countless other...
Moore's Law, as chip manufacturers generally refer to it today, is coming to an end, according to a recent research paper. Granted, that end likely won't come for about two decades, but...
Kiwi computer scientists are redesigning the one thing internet users use the most - the back button - hoping to make it easier for people to navigate the net. Billions of web pages are...
According to reports today scientists from the QinetiQ organisation have managed to send a key for encryption just under 15 miles (a new record), opening the door for security of an unparalleled level in the...
Thanks Mark (our field reporter in the U.S.A) who heard this from a mate who saw this on Warp2search where CNN got it from some British site, ya you get the picture.. OXFORD, England --...
It is a scary thought. While walking down the road you meet someone who wants to shake your hand. But the stranger is made of anti-matter, and when your fingers touch -ka-boom. Physicists believe the...
