How do I transfer music from the iPod?

7 hours ago | User rating: 3.8 / 5

(AP) -- Q: How do I transfer music from my iPod onto a computer?

A: Apple Computer Inc. has intentionally made this difficult in an effort to hinder music piracy, but if you really want to do it, it's not that hard. And you might be really interested in doing this if your PC hard drive has crashed, taking your music with it.

Researchers Set Speed Record for Silicon-Based Chips

Jun 20 | User rating: 4.9 / 5

A research team from IBM and the Georgia Institute of Technology has demonstrated the first silicon-germanium transistor able to operate at frequencies above 500 GHz. Though the record performance was attained at extremely cold temperatures, the results suggest that the upper bound for performance in silicon-germanium devices may be higher than originally expected.

Slow-frozen people? Latest research supports possibility of cyropreservation

9 hours ago | User rating: 4.8 / 5

The latest research on water - still one of the least understood of all liquids despite a century of intensive study – seems to support the possibility that cells, tissues and even the entire human body could be cyropreserved without formation of damaging ice crystals, according to University of Helsinki researcher Anatoli Bogdan, Ph.D.

A scanner that could save your skin

4 hours ago | User rating: not rated yet

(AP) -- The mirror on the wall might be able to tell who is the fairest of them all, but BrighTex Bio-Photonics LLC's scanner can tell a whole lot more. Applying technology used for inspecting semiconductor wafers for defects, BrighTex developed the Clarity Pro facial image scanner, which claims to identify bacteria-clogging pores, show where wrinkles are forming and identify skin damage caused by the sun.

Proper UV protection for your eyes is important for summer

4 hours ago | User rating: 5 / 5

We all know the importance of using sunscreen to protect our skin from the sun's harmful rays, but what about protection for our eyes? July is UV Safety Month and prolonged exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays without protection may cause eye conditions that can lead to vision loss, such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats are your best protection against UV-related vision problems, but be careful when you're shopping for sunglasses -- the wrong kind of lenses might do more harm than good.

Nano World: Self-powered hydrogen sensors

7 hours ago | User rating: 5 / 5

Nanotechnological, inexpensive sensors that can detect invisible, odorless hydrogen leaks and sound the alarm wirelessly could help safeguard future vehicles and refueling stations based on the gas, experts told UPI's Nano World.

Nanoparticles and Lasers Create Cancer-Killing Microbubbles

Jun 19 | User rating: 5 / 5

One promising use of gold nanoparticles is to use them to convert laser energy into heat that can kill malignant cells. Now, in a promising twist on this approach to anticancer therapy, an international team of investigators has developed a method that uses clusters of gold nanoparticles to create vapor microbubbles that can kill targeted cells.

Discovering How to Focus on Tiniest of the Very Small

Jun 19 | User rating: 4.4 / 5

If you need a good picture of a molecule, your first job is getting its atoms to pose for you, says John Silcox, Cornell's David E. Burr Professor of Engineering and an expert in the realm of the very tiny.

Measuring single qubits

8 hours ago | User rating: 4.4 / 5

“In a quantum system,” explains Alexander Korotkov at the University of California, Riverside, “the result of a measurement can change the system so that it moves in the same direction as the result.” Testing this idea that “our observation changes the direction of the system evolution” is one of the key components of a Letter published May 24th in Physical Review Letters.

Purdue panel completes review of nuclear engineer

Physicists make an effervescent discovery

8 hours ago | User rating: 4.9 / 5

Space is fizzing. Above our heads, where the Earth’s magnetic field meets the constant stream of gas from the Sun, thousands of bubbles of superheated gas are constantly growing and popping. Their discovery could allow scientists to finally understand the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth’s magnetic field.

Evidence for ultra-energetic particles in jet from black hole

11 hours ago | User rating: 4.3 / 5

An international team of astronomers led by researchers at Yale has obtained key infrared observations that reveal the nature of quasar particle jets that originate just outside super-massive black holes at the center of galaxies and radiate across the spectrum from radio to X-ray wavelengths; a complementary study of jet X-ray emission led by astronomers at the University of Southampton, reaches the same conclusion.
