"Researchers at the University of Washington and Microsoft are developing one of the first complete storage systems to house digital data in DNA."

Segment Transcript IRA FLATOW: This is Science Friday. I'm Ira Flatow. This Veteran's Day there is hopeful news about spinal cord injury research. A Swiss research team describes a paralyzed monkey walking again with help from an implant connecting its brain to a device that applies electrical pulses to its spine.

Here is a free music site for background music for the research projects.

Summary: Researchers at the Centre of Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated a 100x improvement in optical-fibre broadband speeds. Researchers at the Centre of Graphene Science at the Universities of Bath and Exeter have demonstrated a drastic improvement in optical-fibre broadband speeds via the use of the miracle material: graphene.

Record-breaking speeds have been achieved during tests of 5G data connections, scientists have said. Researchers at the University of Surrey's 5G Innovation Centre (5GIC) managed one terabit per second (Tbps) - many thousands of times faster than current data connections. The head of the 5GIC said he hoped to demonstrate the technology to the public in 2018.

SolidEnergy, a company that's been working to improve lithium-ion energy density for the past five years, has come up with a few different methods of possibly reducing lithium-Ion batteries by 50% in size and increasing their battery life exponentially.

Operator and vendor revenues across the main cloud services and infrastructure market segments hit $148 billion (£120.5bn) in 2016 growing at 25% annually, according to the latest note from analyst firm Synergy Research. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) experienced the highest growth rates at 53%, followed by hosted private cloud infrastructure services, at 35%, and enterprise SaaS, at 34%.

Cases of cybercrime continue to increase with each passing day. On December 16th, a new malware was discovered by Sixgill security researchers on a popular Russian/English cybercrime message board - it is known as Nuke and is being sold in the dark web.

I posted a blog earlier this week on the endpoint security market transition that ESG anticipates in 2014. ESG research already indicates that change is in the air --62% of security professionals working at enterprise organizations (i.e.

The most popular home wireless routers are easily hacked and there's little you can do to stop it, says a new study by research firm Independent Security Evaluators.

In collaboration with the Institute of Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, ANSTO researchers have manipulated the electrochemical properties of a material that could improve the capacity and life of sodium-ion batteries.

Using a homegrown app on a Samsung Gear Live smart watch, researchers were able to guess what a user was typing through data 'leaks' produced by the motion sensors on smart watches. The project, called Motion Leaks through Smartwatch Sensors, or MoLe, has privacy implications, as an app that is camouflaged as a pedometer, for example, could gather data from emails, search queries and other confidential documents.

International Business Machines Corp. is revamping its social-networking programs for mobile devices, including Research In Motion Ltd.'s BlackBerry

This device can speed up argon ions down a 5-millimeter track by using an electrical field to accelerate it instead of magnets.

That's awesome come on anti matter. But really I see a lot of good research coming from this.

This is pretty interesting if they can get it to work reliably.
