How To: Disable an RFID Passport
Some people aren't too keen on openly transmitting their personal data. By Jenna Wortham from Wired magazine. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on
John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Study Finds Overall Health And Quality Of Life Intact 10 Years After S
Survivors of stem-cell transplantation for blood cancers can expect to be just about as healthy 10 years later as adults who have never had a transplant, according to a new study by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Research Cancer Center. Overdiagnosis Since Introduction Of Prostate Cancer Screening
The introduction of prostate-antigen screening, or PSA, has resulted in over one million additional men over the last 23 years being diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer -- most of whom were likely overdiagnosed, researchers reported in a new study. Newly Found DNA Catalysts Cleave DNA With Water Molecule
Better tools for manipulating DNA in the laboratory may soon be possible with newly discovered deoxyribozymes (catalytic DNA) capable of cleaving single-stranded DNA, researchers say. Surprising Origin Of Cell's Internal Highways
Scientists have long thought that microtubules, part of the microscopic scaffolding that the cell uses to move things around in order to hold its shape and divide, originated from a tiny structure near the nucleus, called the centrosome. Researchers now report a surprising new origin for these cellular "highways"-- the Golgi apparatus. Omega-3 Can Prevent Blindness In Premature Mice: Hospital Treatment So
Children who are born prematurely risk becoming blind, since their eyes do not develop as they should, but a supplement of the fatty acid omega-3 could save these children's sight. Children who are born before their eyes have finished growing risk developing an eye disease called retinopathy. This disorder involves the loss of blood vessels in the eye, which means that the retina does not get enough oxygen. Sunshine To Petrol Project Seeks Fuel From Thin Air
Using concentrated solar energy to reverse combustion, scientists are building a prototype device intended to chemically ?reenergize?carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide using concentrated solar power. The carbon monoxide could then be used to make hydrogen or serve as a building block to synthesize a liquid combustible fuel, such as methanol or even gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. As the world churns: Earth's liquid outer core is slowly 'stirred' in
A new study confirms theories that Earth's liquid outer core is slowly "stirred" in a series of regularly occurring waves of motion that last for decades. Measurements of Earth's magnetic field from observatory stations on land and ships at sea were combined with satellite data to determine common patterns of movement within Earth's core. The findings give scientists new insights into Earth's internal structure, the mechanisms that generate its magnetic field, and its geology. Geeky Hot Rodder Takes On Dakar
Ronn Bailey is a rich CEO who's pouring millions into a high-tech car to compete in the brutal Dakar rally. But can the car's controls compensate for Bailey's accident-prone driving? Wired magazine's Jenn Kahn goes for a scary ride during a practice session outside Las Vegas.
