Climate change researchers find new foe: Earthworms
2013-02-06 19:29:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Washington Times: While global leaders fret about carbon taxes and redistribution of wealth to developing countries, a new study suggests that not just humans, but earthworms contribute to global warming in a significant way, with populations set to boom in the next couple of decades. In the new study, published in Nature Climate Change, researchers in Holland, the United States and Colombia compiled the results of 237 separate experiments from other published studies to explore earthworms` role in global greenhouse...

Researchers create robot exoskeleton that is controlled by a moth running on a trackball
2013-02-06 14:09:26| Extremetech
If you're terrified of the possibility that humanity will be dismembered by an insectoid master race, equipped with robotic exoskeletons (or would that be exo-exoskeletons?), look away now. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have strapped a moth into a robotic exoskeleton, with the moth successfully controlling the robot to reach a specific location inside a wind tunnel.

Researchers devise new attack techniques against SSL
2013-02-06 13:51:48| InfoWorld: Top News
The developers of many SSL libraries are releasing patches for a vulnerability that could potentially be exploited to recover plaintext information, such as browser authentication cookies, from encrypted communications. The patching effort follows the discovery of new ways to attack SSL, TLS and DTLS implementations that use cipher-block-chaining (CBC) mode encryption. The new attack methods were developed by researchers Nadhem J. AlFardan and Kenneth G. Paterson at the University of London's Royal Holloway College.

Researchers new solar reactor uses unique mirror to harvest the sun
2013-02-05 22:00:35| Extremetech
Erik Koepf, a doctoral candidate at the University of Delaware, is working on a solar reactor project that produces hydrogen from a chemical reaction causing sunlight to split water, but its efficiency is still unknown. In March, he'll be traveling to Zurich, Switzerland to test the reactor at full power for the very first time. From there, we'll be able to see if this solar reactor will serve as a stepping stone to better solar technology or if it's a complete dud.
