(AP) -- A Boston University graduate student was "a kid who did what kids do" when he swapped songs through file-sharing networks like Kazaa, his lawyer said Tuesday as his copyright-infringement trial began. http://www.physorg.com/news167998654.html Technology Tue, 28 Jul 2009 11:18:01 EST news167998654 (PhysOrg.com) -- College students who use Facebook spend less time studying and have lower grade point averages than students who have not signed up for the social networking website, according to a pilot study at one university. http://www.physorg.com/news158856455.html Other Sciences Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:48:01 EST news158856455 A flood of data is emerging from genome research, including sequence data on proteins. To help science keep pace with this flow of knowledge, computer scientists, biophysicists and biochemists across the world have been developing advanced technologies to help derive accurately and quickly the three-dimensional structure of proteins from this data. http://www.physorg.com/news151252682.html Technology Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:38:02 EST news151252682 (PhysOrg.com) -- A single batch of carbon nanotubes -- molecular carbon cylinders that may one day revolutionize electronics engineering -- often includes more than 100 types of tubes, each with different optical and electrical properties. Individual electrical measurements of the molecules typically require such slow and expensive methods as electron-beam lithography. http://www.physorg.com/news148580751.html Nanotechnology Mon, 15 Dec 2008 16:25:51 EST news148580751 To make a discovery and get to name it is just about every scientist's dream. For one graduate student at UC Riverside that dream already has come true. http://www.physorg.com/news137754090.html Biology Tue, 12 Aug 2008 10:01:30 EST news137754090 Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have discovered a type of gene regulation never before observed in mammals--a "ribozyme" that controls the activity of an important family of genes in several different species. http://www.physorg.com/news134828776.html Biology Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:26:16 EST news134828776
