Fundamental changes are needed in the education of the scientists whose work impacts medicine, drug discovery, development of sustainable new fuels and other global challenges society is facing in the 21st century. Those changes in graduate education in chemistry are the topic of a special symposium here today at the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society. http://phys.org/news284730842.html Other Sciences Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:30:01 EST news284730842 (Phys.org)—Cyber-crime is expanding to the fertile grounds of social networks and University of California, Riverside engineers are fighting it. http://phys.org/news268990137.html Technology Tue, 09 Oct 2012 08:50:01 EST news268990137 The United States needs to develop offensive weapons in cyberspace as part of its effort to protect the nation from cyber attacks, a senior military official said Thursday. http://phys.org/news268584060.html Technology Thu, 04 Oct 2012 15:41:06 EST news268584060 Camouflage face makeup for warfare is undergoing one of the most fundamental changes in thousands of years, as scientists today described a new face paint that both hides soldiers from the enemy and shields their faces from the searing heat of bomb blasts. Firefighters also could benefit from the new heat-resistant makeup, according to the report. http://phys.org/news264852718.html Chemistry Wed, 22 Aug 2012 11:30:03 EST news264852718 Scientists today reported progress toward a 40-year-old dream of extracting uranium for nuclear power from seawater, which holds at least 4 billion tons of the precious material. They described some of the most promising technology and an economic analysis showing uranium from the oceans could help solidify nuclear energy potential as a sustainable electricity source for the 21st century. Their reports were part of a symposium at the 244th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society being held here through Thursday. http://phys.org/news264767138.html Technology Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:25:50 EST news264767138 Everybody who's anybody in the no-longer-arcane field of computer security is out in force in Bellevue, Wash., this week at the 21st USENIX Security Symposium, the leading computer systems and networking security conference. Before the official kickoff Aug. 8, Computer Science and Engineering Ph.D. student Feng Lu presented a joint paper with fellow graduate student Jiaqi Zhang and CSE professor Stefan Savage at the 7th USENIX Workshop on Hot Topics in Security (HotSec '12) on Tuesday. Their paper, "When Good Services Go Wild: Reassembling Web Services for Unintended Purposes," is the subject of a report in MIT Technology Review about 'a menacing Facebook-Google mashup'. http://phys.org/news263793471.html Technology Fri, 10 Aug 2012 04:58:06 EST news263793471 Combining the secrets that enable water striders to walk on water and give wood its lightness and great strength has yielded an amazing new material so buoyant that, in everyday terms, a boat made from 1 pound of the substance could carry five kitchen refrigerators, about 1,000 pounds. http://phys.org/news251903652.html Chemistry Sun, 25 Mar 2012 14:14:23 EST news251903652 The instant communications technology that nurtured grassroots revolutions in the Arab world could also help farmers cope with climate change, according to Iowa State University researchers. http://phys.org/news248863756.html Space & Earth Sun, 19 Feb 2012 08:49:22 EST news248863756 Professor Stephen Sheppard will present at the symposium Beyond Climate Models: Rethinking How to Envision the Future with Climate Change Friday, at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference in Vancouver. http://phys.org/news248789973.html Space & Earth Sat, 18 Feb 2012 12:19:39 EST news248789973 A Simon Fraser University researcher known for his expertise on naturally occurring hazards will participate Friday in a shake down of the truth about a new form of human-induced earthquakes. http://phys.org/news248682558.html Space & Earth Fri, 17 Feb 2012 07:30:01 EST news248682558 Leading cancer researchers reflected on past achievements and prospects for the future of cancer treatment during a special MIT symposium on Wednesday titled “Conquering Cancer through the Convergence of Science and Engineering.” http://phys.org/news219654726.html Medicine & Health Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:12:29 EST news219654726
