The service, being tested in conjunction with Dish Network satellite TV service, would allow users to search Dish programming as well as video Web properties, such... 

Light-speed computing is one step closer to reality. Scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a new infrared laser made from germanium that operates at room temperature, which has made light-speed computing come one step closer to reality. The research removes the cryogenic cooling systems previously needed for infrared lasers and could lead to powerful computer... 

It’s sophisticated, it’s nasty, it’s ruthless and it’s intelligent. And it leaves no clue to the account holders when it decides to rip their balance off. Security experts agree that cyber-criminals are getting smarter, but this new Trojan takes things to a whole new level. This is one such Trojan horse program, which is very sophisticated and it keeps reinventing itself in... 

Yes it is True; Researchers have demonstrated a penny-sized “nuclear battery” that produces energy from the decay of radioisotopes. Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri...
