Computer Scientist Fights Threat Of 'Botnets'
Computer scientists have watched malicious traffic on the Internet evolve from childish pranks to a billion-dollar "shadow industry"in the last decade, and the profession has largely been one step behind the bad guys. Viruses, phishing scams, worms and spyware are only the beginning, according to one computer science specialist. Discovery Could Help In The Development Of Sensors Against Chemical Th
Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs), which could play an important role in developing sensors against chemical threats, have enhanced interaction with ammonia because of the presence of oxygen groups on the nanotubes, researchers at Temple University have discovered. Purdue Engineers Create Safer, More Efficient Nuclear Fuel, Model Its
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. [Stupid] NY Girl Scout cookie bust
NEW YORK: New York police have ticketed a man they say set up a table on a Brooklyn sidewalk to sell Girl Scout cookies without a license.But the suspect's 13-year-old daughter disputes the account and says her father was only helping her deliver pre-ordered cookies in the neighbourhood.Officers issued a summons for unlicensed vending to Hoi "Howard"Louis over the weekend."An adult 55-year-old male who had set up a table along a busy stretch was given a summons,"Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said on Wednesday. The Right Hitchhiker Can Save An Aphid's Life
Having the right bacteria can be a lifesaver for an aphid. Having the wrong bacteria, or no bacteria at all, could be a recipe for becoming wasp fodder. Pea aphids vary in their resistance to parasitoid wasps, which scientists chalked up to genetic differences between aphids. But it's not in their genes at all -- the wasp-resistant aphids owe their lives to the symbiotic bacteria carried within the aphids, according to new research. 2006: Top Privacy, Security Tales
Here are the 10 most fun, most visited or (IMHO) most important stories this young blog flagged this year -- like Sen. Ted Stevens' rant on the internet being a series of tubes ... oh yes, we have more. Plus: Why do airport screeners toss all those dangerous half-filled water bottles into a trash can next to their station? In 27B Stroke 6. The Next Big Thing Is Small: Nanotechnology Could Lead To Radical Impr
When it comes to taking the next "giant leap"in space exploration, NASA is thinking small -- really small. In laboratories around the country, NASA is supporting the burgeoning science of nanotechnology. The basic idea is to learn to deal with matter at the atomic scale -- to be able to control individual atoms and molecules well enough to design molecule-size machines, advanced electronics and "smart"materials. Cell Growth Discovery: Protein Interactions Of MAP Kinase Signaling Pa
Scientists have achieved a quantitative in vivo measurement of the dynamic protein-protein interactions in the mitogen-activated protein kinase cascade signaling pathway, which is critical to growth and differentiation decisions in all eukaryotic cells. Pablo Picasso: Official Web Site
